An ideal opportunity has arisen to purchase a character home in one of Birmingham’s finest locations, close to the city centre but with easy access to major attractions such as the Botanical Gardens and the globally renowned Warwickshire County Cricket Club.

The property in question is in Chad Road and it is an elegant period semi-detached house, Grade II-listed with extensive accommodation arranged over three storeys, including five bedrooms.

Built around 1850, the property has a most attractive frontage, with white brickwork and stucco dressings. It is approached via a shared in-and-out driveway and inside combines many original period features with modern conveniences such as gas central heating.

At ground floor level is a charming reception hall with Minton tiled flooring, large cellarage, two superb reception rooms, a separate dining room, and a breakfast room with a kitchen. The five excellent bedrooms are on the first and second floors alongside the bathroom and two shower rooms.

Interested buyers will discover many features as they view the property. For example, all the reception rooms have attractive fireplaces, while the kitchen includes two stainless steel self-cleaning ovens, a matching microwave, a halogen hob and gas wok burner, a drinks fridge and a dishwasher. There is also a guests’ cloakroom with a WC and handbasin.

The four bedrooms on the first floor all have feature fireplaces and built-in wardrobes, while the excellent loft conversion bedroom includes eaves storage and a walk-in wardrobe.

The property has ample parking to the front, while the rear garden includes a blue brick hand laid patio with a lawn and shaped borders. There is a side garage and utility area with plumbing for a washing machine, a stainless steel sink unit, space for a tumble dryer, and useful storage cupboards.

With Birmingham University and fine schools in the area, the property could not be better placed.
