This property located on Lovelace Avenue in Solihull, West Midlands, is a charming, characterful residence built in the 1930s. The exterior is attractive, showcasing a blend of brickwork and timber detailing. The photos display a sizable property, exhibiting substantial rooms and original features such as intricate carved timbers and stonework. The interior appears spacious but in need of some modernisation; decor and fixtures seem dated and could benefit from an update. The property features multiple bedrooms and bathrooms.
The property includes a garden, although its exact size is not provided, and the garden area includes an old, unmaintained swimming pool. The garden’s condition will factor into the overall appeal and may require a significant investment to restore.
The proximity to Widney Manor train station is a considerable advantage, along with the location being within reach of reputable schools like St Alphege Church of England Junior School and Solihull Sixth Form College. The area is also known for its established and affluent nature.
The price of £1,500,000 must be considered relative to other local listings. While Solihull is an expensive area, the lack of explicit plot size measurements and the presence of a dilapidated swimming pool should influence any prospective buyer’s evaluation. A potential buyer should undertake thorough checks and factor in the cost of modernising and landscaping the property, which is expected to add significantly to the overall purchase cost.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
