Description

IMMACULATELY PRESENTED THROUGHOUT | CHARACTER AND CHARM | SOUTH-FACING LANDSCAPED GARDEN | MODERN KITCHEN AND BATHROOM | IDEAL FIRST-TIME PURCHASE OR TURNKEY BUY-TO-LET INVESTMENT
Oakmans are delighted to present this beautifully maintained home on Reservoir Road, Selly Oak. Immaculately presented throughout, this attractive property offers the perfect balance of traditional character and modern living, making it an excellent choice for first-time buyers, families and investors seeking a ready-to-let property in an area of strong rental demand.
Upon entering, the property immediately impresses with its bright and welcoming accommodation. The front reception room retains a wealth of character and charm, including an attractive original fireplace, creating a lovely focal point and a warm, inviting living space. The property has been thoughtfully maintained, allowing its traditional features to complement the modern finish throughout.
The contemporary fitted kitchen is a particular highlight, offering a stylish and practical space for everyday living. Flooded with natural light, the kitchen benefits from impressive floor-to-ceiling double-glazed doors providing direct access to the rear garden. There is space for a dishwasher, while a separate utility room provides additional space for household appliances, helping to keep the main kitchen area uncluttered and functional. Additionally on the first floor there are two double bedrooms. Within the principle bedroom there is a tailored built in wardrobe. The modern bathroom further complements the property's well-presented interior.
Externally, the property boasts a beautifully landscaped, south-facing rear garden, offering an excellent space for relaxing, entertaining and enjoying the warmer months. With well-maintained fencing to both sides, the garden provides a private and secluded setting, with the added benefit of backing directly onto Selly Oak Park. Its south-facing aspect allows it to enjoy sunshine throughout the day and into the evening during the summer months, making it particularly appealing to families, keen gardeners and those who enjoy outdoor living.
The location is another significant advantage. Situated in Selly Oak, the property is conveniently positioned for the Battery Retail Park, offering a variety of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and everyday amenities. The property also sits close to the border of Harborne, renowned for its attractive village atmosphere and excellent selection of independent bars, restaurants, cafes and shops.
The property is ideally placed for two of Birmingham's major employers, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham and the University of Birmingham, making it particularly attractive to healthcare professionals, university staff and students. The neighbouring suburbs of Harborne, Edgbaston, Bournville and Stirchley are also within easy reach, providing an excellent choice of green spaces, independent businesses and leisure facilities.
For commuters, Selly Oak and University railway stations provide convenient access to Birmingham city centre and destinations further afield. Local bus services operate nearby, while the A38 Bristol Road and surrounding road network provide straightforward routes into the city centre and across Birmingham. The nearby Worcester and Birmingham Canal also offers attractive walking and cycling routes.
Families will appreciate the selection of educational facilities in the surrounding area, including Water Mill Primary School and St Mary's Church of England Primary School. Nearby secondary options include The University of Birmingham School and Dame Elizabeth Cadbury School. Further education opportunities are available at local sixth forms and colleges, while the University of Birmingham is close by.
For first-time buyers, this is an opportunity to secure a home that is ready to move straight into, without the need for refurbishment. For investors, the combination of immaculate presentation, proximity to major employment hubs, excellent transport connections and established rental demand makes this an appealing turnkey buy-to-let opportunity.
Additional benefits include ample on-road parking and a private rear garden backing onto parkland.
Properties combining this level of presentation, traditional character and an attractive south-facing garden are always worth viewing. Contact Oakmans today to arrange your viewing and appreciate everything this fantastic home has to offer.
