PROPERTY IN BRIEF

Ginger are excited to offer this exciting project within the heart Balsall Common. If you’re looking for a traditional and large property to modernise, develop and create something of your own, this home certainly is well worth a view.

This property is in need of full modernisation throughout, offers an abundance of opportunities. Sold with benefit of no upward chain.

Located in the heart of common close to the village centre, village hall, bus stop, schools and excellent road/ rail and air networks, this home is perfectly placed and works well for the family.

The property offers generous living accommodation on the ground floor, large living room, separate dining room, breakfast kitchen, cloakroom, utility, and garage,

Upstairs on the first floor, there are currently two bedrooms, that were three, easy to put back, a family bathroom, separate WC and stairs leading to the loft conversion.

The loft space has been converted many years ago, there are two rooms which would work well as the bedroom with windows, the second room is currently is store, which would open opportunities for an en-suite/ dressing area.

Outside, the property has a generous drive and garden to front, with garage, and a large south facing garden and patio to the rear. As well as greenhouse and vegetable patch.

The property sold with the benefit of no upward chain. Proceedable buyers only please.

APPROACH

The property is set a distance back from the roadside, having a tarmac driveway, with the front garden nicely surrounded by planting beds and trees. There is a generous parking area with access into the garage and porch leading into the main house.

LIVING ACCOMMODATION

The ground floor living accommodation delivers excellent floor area with excellent proportioned rooms. First of all, you’re are welcomed by a porch area, which has UPVC door and windows, with a feature solid wood/partially glazed door to welcome you into the hallway. A great space to kick off shoes.

Once inside, you can immediately appreciate the size of this property, the traditional features, where your eyes are immediately drawn to the exposed Minton tiled flooring which sets the scene for your property tour and the stunning crafted staircase.

The hallway is a lovely size, wide and deep, stairs rising up to the bedrooms, with a space underneath the stairs which is ideal for storage, or perhaps a home office. The hallway has a door to the lead out to the garden, as well as a downstairs cloakroom where the Minton tiles floor continues from the hall, having a toilet and wash basin and window to side.

To the front of the property is the family living room. Once you step in you will notice how the tall ceilings really do open up this space, particularly with the triple windows around, adding plenty of natural light and views into the front garden. This generous size living room is perfect for large living furniture, alcove storage, fireplace and central heating. A really lovely family space.

The dining room set to the rear of the house, having windows looking into the large south facing garden, as well as a door to exit outside. This is a good size room, and works really well to service a dining space, or an additional sitting area for the kids. Either way this is a great space.

Further door from the dining room leads into the breakfast kitchen, a light room having dual aspect views to the front and rear, and although you are likely to replace all the fitments, you will see the opportunity to open this space up perhaps into the dining room, or look to extend both rooms out to the rear. There is a further door leading out to the garage and utility area.

The utility has some storage units, a sink with the door leading into the garden and window. Home to the Worcester boiler, and access into the single size garage.

BEDROOMS AND BATHROOMS

Your journey from the hallway up the feature, period staircase welcomes you to the first floor landing. We particularly love the tall skirting boards, tall ceilings and the layout of this traditional property.

The landing gives access to the bedrooms, the family bathroom, as well as a separate toilet, with a double glazed window to the rear elevation and further door leading up to the loft rooms.

Initially, on the first floor, the property would’ve been built with three bedrooms, however in time gone by, two of the rooms have been merged together to create this one larger main bedroom. However, the door into what was third bedroom still remains and therefore could be put back should be required.

The larger bedroom is L shaped, providing the obvious space for the sleeping area for a bed and side tables, and to the rear of this room, there are fitted wardrobes, and ideal floor space to use as a dressing area. The combined room has a window to the front and rear elevations, with radiators also to the front and rear, period alcoves and ceiling lights.

The second bedroom to the front of the property is a nice size, lovely and bright having a double glazed window looking into the front garden with radiator underneath. This room would work really well as a double room, or a guest room, particularly with the house bathroom opposite.

The bathroom is set to rear of the house, having a bath, separate single shower with mains-fed control, and a pedestal wash basin with double glazed window to the rear elevation and central heating radiator.

There is a separate toilet, which is a nice size, having a WC and pedestal wash basin with window to the side elevation.

TOP FLOOR ATIC CONVERSION

The stairs lead off via a door on the first floor landing area, where halfway along the stairs is an access hatch into some loft storage space. There’s also skylight and ceiling light as you climb the stairs.

The lost space has been converted many years ago to create two further rooms. This top floor space does open up possibilities, with further bedrooms, en-suite and dressing area.

The larger room has a window to the front elevation with the remainder of the walls being plastered, and there is central heating.

The second room on the top floor is more of the store room, having access into the space, but no window. This would develop nicely into en-suite.

GARAGE

Garage has power and lighting, with up and over the door to the front, as well as door via the utility back into the kitchen.

OUTSIDE SPACE

As you would expect with a traditional home like this one, it comes with a nice size rear garden. Another bonus to the garden is the south facing aspect, and how quite and private it is, having a number of fruit trees, establish borders and large lawn for the kids to play. There’s also a generous patio, which stretches across the rear of the house, with doors leading into the utility, dining room and hallway. Further more there is a green house and vegetable patch.

You will see the potential to extend STPP.
