3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Arnold Road, Shirley, Solihull B90

****sold with no onward chain**** Tucked away on a quiet street just off the Stratford Road, this much-loved family home has stacks of original charm. A family could move straight into it, but it also has bags of potential to add value.

Step through the porch and into the hallway, where you’ll find a bay-fronted living room to your left – the perfect cosy retreat. At the rear, there’s a second reception room with sliding doors opening straight out onto the patio. Ideal for indoor-outdoor living in the warmer months.

The kitchen sits at the end of the hallway – well laid out with a built-in oven and gas hob, and just enough space for a breakfast table. From here, you step into the side extension, which houses space for a fridge-freezer and leads in one direction to a downstairs WC, and in the other to an internal door into the integral garage. There's also access to the garden from this side passage, making it all really practical.

Upstairs, you’ve got two generous double bedrooms with similar proportions to the downstairs reception rooms, plus a third single bedroom – just right for a single bed, a nursery, home office, or dressing room. The bathroom is clean and well-kept, with both a bath and a separate shower. The original 1930s doors and handles are still in place, adding a lovely period touch.

Outside, the rear garden is a real highlight – lovingly maintained and full of character. There’s a patio area just outside the house, a split-level lawn, and at the bottom, you’ll find fruit trees (plum, apple, and walnut), flowering plants, a veg patch, and a handy garden shed.

To the front, there’s a small garden and a driveway with space for two vehicles. The loft is boarded with a drop-down ladder and light, and the home is double-glazed throughout with a Worcester Bosch combi boiler. In addition, the windows are double-glazed and were replaced only a few years ago.

Plenty of opportunity to add value too – think wrap-around kitchen-diner extension, converting the garage, or even adding a bedroom above (subject to planning).

All of this, just a minute or two’s walk from Stratford Road, full of shops, cafés, bars and restaurants. Buses to Birmingham are moments away, and Shirley train station is just a mile on foot.
