Description
This remarkable terraced period home in Erdington will delight all viewers, especially first-time buyers and small families seeking a long-term move. To the front of the property is a gravel driveway for one car with a shared block-paved path to the left for the front door and another to the right for the communal passageway through the terrace to the back gardens. Viewers take the main front door to move into the lounge.
Immediately of note upon entering the house is the stylish décor and tall ceilings. The modern laminate flooring is offset by the lovely traditional fireplace surround and the first of two log burners in this home. To the front is a glorious large bay window that allows plenty of natural light into the home. A door to the rear of the lounge opens to a short hallway that has an under-stairs storage cupboard to the right and a recess to the left where the control unit for the underfloor heating resides. Yes, this home has underfloor heating installed and prospective buyers will be delighted to learn that this is throughout both floors.
Beyond the short hallway is second generous reception room, the dining room. Again, there is a long burner set into a chimney breast to the right of the room, however this time there is sleek white tiling laid underfoot. There are a set of units mounted to the left wall and space for a Fridge-Freezer. To the rear of the dining room is a double-glazed window (all windows are double glazed in the house) beside a door to the kitchen.
Although a modest size, the galley kitchen is befitting of the period-style and has a fabulous bespoke fitted suite that features wood-effect work surfaces and cream facias, complemented by stylish white wall tiling. There is an integrated four-burner gas hob and electric oven, with space and plumbing for a washing machine.
An opening to the rear leads to a second short hallway that has a door to the ground floor bathroom, exit door to outside and a large storage cupboard that houses the gas central heating combi-boiler. The ground floor bathroom is another stylish suite that includes fully tiled walls, a bathtub with storm shower fitted over, wash hand basin and a trendy rectangular wash basin unit.
From the dining room, a door to the front right opens to access the staircase up to the first-floor landing that has doors leading into both double bedrooms. Due to the side passageway to the right of the house, the first floor expands over to create a wider first floor which makes for sensational bedroom sizes. Both bedrooms have chimney breasts protruding from the right and are very similar in size, the master bedroom at the front being just two inches longer.
What appears to be a handy storage cupboard in the front bedroom is actually access to a fixed, thick wooden ladder leading up to a part-converted loft space. The flooring is boarded with clear segregated eaves storage and a large skylight / roof window.
Finishing outside to the rear, a short block-paved yard leads from the exit door to a short rear gate. There is then the communal passageway along the rear of the terrace, as per many properties of this type, that allows neighbouring properties to access the rear via the shared passageway.
The garden continues to a vast open lawn. An unusual feature here is the free-standing garage with up-and-over door in the rear garden, as there is no vehicular access and therefore makes for an excellent storage room or workshop. A raised decking area at the far end completes the garden and there is wooden fencing and a hedgerow to the boundaries to ensure privacy.

Comments
This property is offered for sale via the Reservation Fee Service which is a flexible and buyer friendly method of purchase. The purchaser will be given 90 working days in which to complete the transaction from the date the Draft Contract is issued by the sellers solicitor.
By giving a buyer time to exchange contracts on the property, normal residential finance can be arranged. The Buyer’s Premium secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Fees paid to the Merchant are paid in addition to the purchase price and are considered within calculations for Stamp Duty Land Tax. Further clarification on this must be sought from your legal representative.
The buyer will be required to give the Merchant authority to sign the Reservation Form on their behalf and to confirm acceptance of the Terms and Conditions prior to solicitors being instructed. Copies of the Reservation Form and all Terms and Conditions can be found in the Information Pack which can be downloaded from our website or requested from our Merchant.
If the vendor accepts an offer, the buyer will be required to make payment of a non-refundable Buyer’s Premium of £4,782 including VAT, plus a legal pack charge of £372 including VAT, a total of £5,154. This secures the transaction and takes the property off the market. Any additional fees and charges over and above this will be confirmed within the terms and conditions available on the website.
The Buyer's Premium and legal pack charge are in addition to the final negotiated selling price.
All buyers will be required to verify their identity and provide proof of how the purchase will be funded.
Energy Performance Certificate (EPCs)
An EPC is broadly like the labels provided with domestic appliances such as refrigerators and washing machines. Its purpose is to record how energy efficient a property is as a building. The certificate will provide a rating of the energy efficiency and carbon emissions of a building from A to G, where A is very efficient, and G is inefficient. The data required to allow the calculation of an EPC includes the age and construction of the building, its insulation and heating method. EPCs are produced using standard methods with standard assumptions about energy usage so that the energy efficiency of one building can easily be compared with another building of the same type. The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) requires that all buildings have an EPC when they are marketed for sale or for let, or when houses are newly built. EPCs are valid for 10 years, or until a newer EPC is prepared. During this period the EPC may be made available to buyers or new tenants.
