4 bed detached house for sale

Stanbrook Road, Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands B90

Nestled in the highly desirable area of Monkspath, Solihull, this well presented four-bedroom detached family home offers spacious living at a very affordable price. The property also benefits from being located on a corner plot in a quiet residential road with excellent local amenities and no upward chain.

As you step inside, you are greeted by a bright entrance hallway leading to a generous lounge, perfect for relaxation and hosting guests. The dining area can be opened up to form part of the lounge when entertaining, or separated for cosy nights by the fireplace. The breakfast kitchen is also accessible from the hall which has plenty of work space for both busy families and keen cooks. From the kitchen, double doors open on to the tranquil and private garden which has ample room for play, and entertaining guests. The dining room also has direct access to the garden through a sliding door. There is a WC located off the entrance hall and a large private driveway to the front with access to the garage. Upstairs, the property features four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite with fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, and one single bedroom which all share a family bathroom. As with many properties in this area, the tenure is a combination of freehold and leasehold. This was due to a number of properties on the estate originally being part owned with the opportunity for the freeholders to purchase the leasehold from the developer. The vendor seized this opportunity when it was presented and now owns both the freehold and leasehold titles. The desirable location boasts a selection of premium retailers, health clubs, parks and leisure activities within a short distance. There are plenty of good schools within close vicinity and excellent transport links to both Birmingham and London.

In 2012, the property suffered from minor cracking due to small trees and shrubs growing within the grounds in close vicinity to a very specific part of the building. This was remedied through the owner's insurance company who instructed a contractor to inspect the damage and soil. The contractor simply required the offending shrubs to be removed and once inspected for further damage or movement, the cracks to be repaired by re-plastering and redecorating. To give some perspective on the extent of the works required, the total cost was roughly £4000. After a prolonged period allowing for the contractor to monitor the property, the owner was issued with a certificate of structural adequacy in 2013. As a result of the previous works, this superb property is priced to sell.
