905 Bristol Road is a superior traditional style freehold detached house, perhaps dating from about 1925, which includes generously proportioned accommodation which is in need of extensive modernisation and repair. It includes a 12ft x 11ft Third Bedroom.

Sainsburys on Bristol Road (A38) in Selly Oak is within half a mile, Bournville Trust Estate is equally nearby and there is good access to surrounding areas. Important centres within a radius of a mile or so include Queen Elizabeth and Orthopaedic Hospitals, Birmingham University and Cadburys at Bournville.

Built of brickwork with a tiled main roof and a 2 storey bay window at the front, the house is set back from the road behind a garden which includes Driveway Parking in front of the Old Side Garage. With Tremendous Scope to Update it comprises:-

Wide Recessed Porch with hardwood framed open sides, tiled floor and original front door to Entrance Hall 12'10 x 7'9 max (3.91m x 2.36m) with parquet flooring and picture rail. Doors lead off to both living rooms, to the kitchen and to a Cloaks Cupboard.

NOTE the layout was altered internally many years ago so as to have a Lift instead of a Staircase but some years ago the Lift ceased to function. It has not been repaired but is still in place which means there is a Lift's Cupboard in the hall and another on the landing. Currently the only access to the first floor is via an External Metal Staircase at the rear which leads up to a small balcony from which a door opens into bedroom no.3. Subject to usual provisos, a staircase could be installed. This would require removal of the lift and cupboards from the hall and corresponding alterations at first floor level where there is a window in the side wall.

Front Living Room 16'7 into bay x 12'6 (5.05m x 3.81m ) with period fireplace, picture rail and leaded glass bay window. A full
width and full height opening connects the living rooms. In the opening are a series of folding doors.

Rear Living Room 14'4 x 12'11 overall (4.37m x 3.94m ) with fireplace and double french doors with matching windows around opening into the garden via the remnants of a verandah area.

Kitchen 12' x 11' (3.66m x 3.35m ) with old solid fuel type stove and a dated sink unit which needs more than cleaning ! The room also has windows in the rear and side walls. A door leads into the Pantry 7'10 x 2'7 (2.39m x 0.79m ) with shelving and window. Another door from the kitchen opens into

Side Carport / Garage Area approx 22' x 7'8 (6.71m x 2.34m ) with double gates / doors at front. The rear leads into the garden and off here are:- Store and Extra Wc

External Metal Staircase with handrails leads to

UPSTAIRS - Small Balcony Area above the store and wc. This has handrails and a door opens into bedroom no.3.

Bedroom 1 17'2 into bay x 12'6 (5.23m x 3.81m ) with period fireplace, picture rail and leaded glass bay window at front.

Bedroom 2 14'4 x 13'1 (4.37m x 3.99m ) with period fireplace, picture rail, fitted cupboards in recess beside chimney breast
and window at rear.

Bedroom 3 12' x 11'1 (3.66m x 3.38m ) with period fireplace, picture rail and window at rear beside the door from the balcony.

Bathroom 7'9 x 6'9 (2.36m x 2.06m ) with original bath, basin, tiling to half height on walls and leaded glass window.

Separate Wc with high level cistern and window.

Landing with Lift's Cupboard with window and the lift, stuck at 1st floor level. Airing Cupboard with hot and cold water storage
tanks and hatch from landing to The Loft.

OUTSIDE - The Private Garden is overgrown and requires clearing. Neglected for many years, within the garden are numerous established trees and shrubs including rhododendron and various evergreens. It could be restored to give a delightful secluded setting.

'Immediate Possession Available' - this means it's available 'as soon as solicitors can finalise things', there's no 'upward chain'.

TENURE: Understood to be Freehold.

HOW TO GET THERE (B29 6ND) - If travelling north along Bristol Road South (A38) from Northfield towards Selly Oak, after passing beneath a pedestrian bridge across the dual carriageway, proceed past the left turn to Middle Park Road, continue to the top of the hill and past the left turn to Weoley Park Road where the house is along on the left hand side, a few doors after the driveway which leads to St Mary's Church.
