summarised intro...

If space is the driving force to your move then look no further because here you have it in abundance. Space is very much the theme throughout the whole of this one of a kind three bedroom property, the same can also be said for the plot itself. This hugely deceptive semi-detached sits on an impressive, larger than average, corner plot, at the end of a cul-de-sac. The immediate area is a poplar residential estate which sits on the very border of Tipton & Wednesbury, our property being right at the heart of it. The creative imagination of the owners is what has given this property it's uniqueness and charm. This is exampled through the interior modifications such as the vaulted ceilings and exposed brickwork. The property comprises of parking for several vehicles, a large wrap around rear garden, large open plan multi-use living accommodation to the ground floor due to extension and three spacious double bedrooms.

Agents notes

1. Previously, the local authority had granted planning permission for a double storey extension to be built to the side of the property. The plans, which can be found on the planning website for Sandwell mbc show that the approval to the build, would see the extension stretch the full depth of the house with the play room being converted in a garage. As the approval has since expired, you are of course expected to make your own enquiries with Sandwell mbc and your legal representative, as to whether or not this could once again be approved by the local planning officers. The planning application reference is: DC/30785.

2. The property does come with an active and working security CCTV system and house alarm.

3. The sellers would like all potential buyers to be fully aware that the vintage lantern style lamp located on the frontage will not be included with the purchase of the property.

4. The seller has already found another property to purchase and is currently progressing matters through the legal transaction.
