3 bed detached house for sale

College Farm Drive, Birmingham B23

Situated on the well-regarded College Farm Drive, New Oscott, this spacious three-bedroom detached home presents an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a property they can modernise and personalise to their own taste. Offered with no upward chain, the property enjoys a generous plot, private rear garden, garage, and driveway parking, making it ideal for families, downsizers, or buyers looking for a long-term home in a convenient location.

Set back from the road behind a dropped kerb, the property benefits from a tarmac driveway providing off-road parking for approximately two to three vehicles, alongside access to the garage via an up-and-over door. A covered side passage provides useful additional access from the front through to the rear garden, with a further side gate to the opposite side of the property.

Internally, the home is entered via a double glazed porch leading into a welcoming entrance hallway with staircase rising to the first floor and doors to the principal ground floor accommodation. To the front and rear is a spacious through lounge/dining room, featuring a bay window to the front, fireplace, two radiators, and sliding patio doors opening directly onto the rear patio, creating an excellent family and entertaining space.

The fitted kitchen offers a range of wall and base units with work surfaces over, integrated fridge, electric oven, five-ring gas hob with extractor above, and a rear-facing window overlooking the garden. From the kitchen, a door leads into the covered side passage, which in turn provides access to both the garage and rear garden.

The garage itself offers valuable storage and workshop space, with a practical utility section including sink, plumbing/space for washing machine and dishwasher, boiler location, radiator, and additional loft storage above.

A useful downstairs WC is positioned beneath the staircase and comprises wash hand basin, WC, and radiator.

To the first floor, the landing gives access to three well-proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The accommodation includes two generous double bedrooms and a well-sized single bedroom with built-in airing cupboard. The bathroom is fully tiled and fitted with a bath with electric shower over, wash hand basin, WC, heated radiator, and obscure glazed window.

Outside, the rear garden offers a private and enclosed outdoor space with a large paved patio, lawned area, garden shed, and fenced boundaries, making it ideal for families, pets, or outdoor entertaining.

The property is superbly located for everyday convenience, with nearby shopping facilities available at Princess Alice Retail Park, Sutton Coldfield town centre, and New Oscott, offering supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, and leisure amenities.

Families are particularly well catered for, with a range of well-regarded local schools nearby.

Excellent commuter links are close at hand, with convenient access to the A38, M6 (Junction 6 & 7), and wider motorway network connecting to Birmingham city centre and beyond. Rail services are available from Chester Road Station, Wylde Green Station, and Erdington Station, providing regular routes into Birmingham New Street, Lichfield, and surrounding areas.

This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a detached home in a sought-after residential location with scope to update and add value, all while benefiting from excellent local amenities and transport links.
