Property Description
AVAILABLE FURNISHED OR UNFURNISHED
The house is tucked away in a tranquil corner of Bournville, surrounded by parkland looking out over green spaces with abundant wildlife. The house is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly long-standing neighbours and a strong sense of community.
Access to the city centre is fast with Bournville and Selly Oak train stations less than fifteen minutes’ walk and the main road to the city for buses or driving just a less than half a mile. There is a supermarket and local shops less than ten minutes’ walk.
Bournville is an historic and much sought-after location within Birmingham, popular with professionals and families. When people move here they tend to stay and many of the neighbours have lived in the row since it was built 50 years ago! The landlord is only moving due to work relocation and will be sad to leave.

Outside space
Garage
Separate garage accessed via private service road to the rear. Has shelving and hanging hooks for tools and storage. Opens into rear garden
Rear Garden
Mature garden set on three paved terraces so it is low-maintenance. It is well-planted so there is always something in bloom to provide colour. There is a small former coal bunker for storing items and an outside tap and water butt. It is accessed via the patio doors or lobby off the lounge. The garage is at the end of the garden but mainly screened by plants.
Front Garden
The lawn to front extends on to the pedestrian footpath that links the parkland to our front with more further down the hill. Because the property is surrounded by parkland there is plenty of wildlife in both gardens, creating a rural feel despite being just three miles from the city centre. Badgers have been seen running past the front path, sparrowhawks have visited the back garden, and woodpeckers have been seen feeding with their young on the front lawn.
Amenities
The house is a fifteen minute walk from Birmingham University and twenty from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The canal is ten minutes away which then provides a traffic-free cycling/walking route to the city centre.
Local shops, post office and a supermarket are a two minute drive or ten minute walk away. There are a number of excellent schools nearby including the Outstanding Bournville Junior and Infant school and the ground-breaking new University of Birmingham School
The house has double glazing, central heating and has had insulation laid in the loft and cavity walls. This means the house is efficient to heat and warm in the winter.
