Broomfields Avenue, Solihull

A beautifully restored two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace cottage in the heart of Solihull, finished to an exceptional standard while retaining the character and period detail that make properties of this age so sought after. A working open grate fire, herringbone parquet flooring, original ceiling roses, and a four-piece Victorian bathroom with freestanding roll-top bath are complemented by a fully refitted kitchen, en-suite to the principal bedroom, and a detached garage with private parking - a rare combination at this location and price.
Briefly comprising: two double bedrooms, en-suite shower room, re-fitted four-piece bathroom, two reception rooms, re-fitted kitchen, breakfast room, cloakroom, walk-in pantry, fully boarded loft, sheltered side courtyard, West facing rear garden with summer house, and garage with parking.

The NEC, Birmingham International Airport, and Birmingham International Railway Station are all within an approximate 10 to 15 minute drive, with Junction 5 of the M42 just minutes away giving access to the wider motorway network.
