Norman Road, Northfield, Birmingham, West Midlands, B31

Five bedrooms. Two reception rooms. A garden that hosts the annual summer party. This is the family home that just keeps giving.

This extended semi-detached home sits on Norman Road in Northfield, right on the edge of Bournville, and it has been shaped by a family who moved in to grow and never looked back. With five double bedrooms, a substantially extended kitchen/diner, and a south-facing garden built for long summer evenings, this is a house with genuine room to breathe. Early interest is expected, so a call to the office sooner rather than later is a good idea.

We asked them what made them buy it...

"It was the garden that caught us first, but we could also see the potential to expand the house itself. We moved in to start a family, and this spot ticked every box. We're right on the edge of Bournville, close to the canals, with brilliant inter-city connections when we need them. The schooling nearby is great, there's plenty of green space, and the community pubs give the whole area a proper sense of neighbourhood."

What about the house itself?

"The kitchen is the heart of the home, no question. We host an annual party in the garden every year, and there's such a great sense of indoor-outdoor living that you can genuinely enjoy every time of day out there. What's worked so well is that the rooms are spacious enough to feel open plan, but you can close the doors and have your own space when you need it. You never feel on top of each other. The house just adapts to whatever mood you're in. And in bedroom one, the Juliet balcony looks out over green, so even with everything the city gives us on our doorstep, it still feels rural."

Our agents say...

This is a house that works as hard as the family living in it. The kitchen/diner is the standout, extended, fitted with integral appliances, a breakfast island for morning coffee or homework, and bifold doors that fold the garden straight into the room on a warm day. A separate utility room keeps all of that clutter-free. There's a second reception room currently doing duty as a playroom, but it would flex just as easily into a home office or a snug. Storage has been properly thought through too, with a garage, an external store room, and a loft with real scope for further development, subject to the usual consents. Upstairs, five double bedrooms share a modern family bathroom and an en-suite, which makes the morning routine a lot less of a scramble. Outside, a double drive takes care of parking, and that south-facing garden is the kind of space that works for barbecues, quiet mornings, or the kids and the dog, depending on the day. Add in a location that puts you close to the canals, the train station, and everything Northfield and Bournville have to offer, and you've got a home with genuine room to grow.
