Red Lion Street, Alvechurch, B48

Summary
Nestled in the heart of the sought after village of Alvechurch, this charming Victorian terrace presents an exciting opportunity for those looking for a project to create their own bespoke home. Retaining a wealth of original character features, the property offers fantastic scope for modernisation while benefiting from the practicality of a Worcester combi boiler installed just two years ago. A truly standout feature is the generous plot of approximately 0.17 acres, boasting an exceptionally large rear garden that provides endless potential for keen gardeners to create their own outdoor haven, with ample space for a garden office or studio, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Description
A long entrance hall provides access to two charming reception rooms, both retaining their original parquet flooring. Positioned to the front, the living room centres around a wood burning stove and decorative wooden fireplace surround, while the separate dining room enjoys characterful features including an exposed brick chimney breast, wood burning stove, cast iron soot door and the original pantry cupboard. From the dining room, steps descend to a cellar.

The kitchen extension (with polycarbonate roof) enjoys access to the garden and is fitted with a range of handmade pine units. The extension also incorporates a convenient ground floor WC.

The first floor landing features a useful cupboard housing the Worcester Bosch combi boiler, installed approximately two years ago. The generous principal bedroom spans the front of the property and retains an original picture rail together with a 1930s fireplace. The second bedroom showcases an original Victorian fireplace and is accessed independently from the landing, whilst also retaining an interconnecting doorway to the principal bedroom, currently fitted with shelving. Completing the first floor is the shower room.

Throughout the home, a wealth of period features remain, including original pine internal doors and traditional monkey tail window handles, adding to the property's Victorian charm.

Accessed via a pull-down ladder from the landing, the loft is partially boarded and benefits from a dormer window, presenting exciting potential for conversion into additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Please note: The working order of the fireplaces and/or wood-burning stoves has not been tested by the seller or agent and cannot be guaranteed.
