3 bed detached house for sale

Farndon Way, Erdington B23

A detached three-bedroom home on an excellent plot on Farndon Way in Erdington, offering an exciting opportunity for buyers looking for a property with genuine potential to renovate, improve and create a home entirely to their own taste and specification.

While the property does require renovation and improvement, the potential on offer is particularly impressive. The existing accommodation has already been extended, while the large plot and substantial garage/workshop provide further scope for enlargement, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents.

The property is approached via a dropped kerb leading to a paved driveway providing comfortable parking for two vehicles, with a small raised lawned area and gated side access leading through to the rear garden.

A wooden entrance door opens into the porch, which in turn leads into the main lounge. The lounge features tiled flooring, a double-glazed bay window overlooking the front, two radiators and a fireplace with gas fire. The gas fire has not been used for some time and will require attention.

From the lounge there is access into the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of wall and base units, work surfaces, tiled flooring, double-glazed window, extractor and a four-ring gas hob, together with useful under-stairs storage.

There are two reception rooms, providing excellent flexibility for modern family living. The second reception room could comfortably serve as a dining room or additional sitting room and benefits from tiled flooring, two radiators, wall lighting and doors leading directly into the rear garden.

Also on the ground floor is a useful utility room and downstairs WC, with work surface, sink, storage, radiator and double-glazed window.

One of the major features of the property is the substantial side extension currently providing a large garage/workshop. This is a particularly versatile space with lighting and electricity, together with a door leading directly into the rear garden. Subject to the appropriate planning permission, this area could offer exciting potential for incorporation into the main accommodation, further extension or potentially additional accommodation.

To the first floor are three bedrooms, together with a family bathroom, airing cupboard and additional storage. The front master bedroom benefits from a double-glazed window, radiator, built-in sliding wardrobes and excellent potential for further improvement. The second front bedroom also overlooks the front, while the rear bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a useful storage cupboard housing the boiler.

The family bathroom comprises a shower enclosure with electric shower, WC, wash hand basin, extractor, radiator and double-glazed window.

Outside, the rear garden is a generous size and is enclosed by fencing, with a lawned area, mature conifers and additional access into the garage/workshop. The size of the garden further enhances the property’s potential for extension, subject to planning.

The property is connected to mains gas, electricity, water and sewerage and is offered for sale with no upward chain.
Location


Farndon Way is situated within the popular Erdington area, providing convenient access to a range of everyday amenities. Local shops, supermarkets, cafés, takeaways and other services are available within the surrounding neighbourhood, while Erdington High Street provides a broader selection of shopping and commercial facilities.

There are a number of schools serving the area, catering for different age groups, making the location convenient for families. There are also parks, recreational facilities and green spaces nearby, providing opportunities for leisure and outdoor activities.

For commuters, the property benefits from access to the surrounding road network, with routes providing connections towards Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham city centre and the wider West Midlands. The A38 and M6 are also accessible, providing useful links for both Birmingham and further afield.

Erdington railway station provides rail services towards Birmingham city centre and other destinations, while nearby Sutton Coldfield also provides further transport options.
The potential


This is a property where the plot is a major part of the appeal. The existing accommodation already benefits from an extension, there is a substantial garage/workshop to the side and the rear garden provides additional scope.

With the correct permissions, there is potential to consider incorporating the existing garage/workshop into the home, extending further to the side or rear, or even exploring a further storey extension.

The property therefore represents an excellent opportunity for someone prepared to undertake renovation works and create a home designed around their own requirements.

A three-bedroom detached home, no upward chain, great plot and significant potential - an exciting project with the opportunity to create something truly bespoke.
