A Very Well Situated 1950's Semi Detached Bungalow Requiring Some Updating

Shakespeare Drive is a much requested road being the main thoroughfare through the much sought after Shakespeare Manor Estate within the Shirley area, lying a short distance from the main Stratford Road. The estate itself was developed through the 1930’s to the 1960’s and contains a variety of family houses and bungalows set within generous plots.
We are advised that the property is situated within the catchment area of nearby Light Hall School which can be found in nearby Hathaway Road. Infant Schooling is catered for by Woodlands Infant School whilst Junior Schooling is at Shirley Heath School just off the Stratford Road. Also nearby, on the main Stratford Road, you will find Our Lady of the Wayside Roman Catholic Junior and Infant School and in Solihull on Whitefields Road is St Peter’s Roman Catholic Senior School, although all education facilities are subject to confirmation from the Education Department.
The main shopping centre in Shirley offers a wide choice of Supermarkets, convenience and speciality stores, restaurants and hostelries and there are frequent bus services running along the A34 into Birmingham City Centre and Solihull Town Centre – boasting the vibrant and modern Touchwood Centre offering shopping facilities and evening entertainments. Shirley has its own train station in Haslucks Green Road, providing a train service to Birmingham City Centre and Stratford upon Avon.
Off the main Stratford Road leads Marshall Lake Road boasting the Retail Park and further down the A34 one will find the Cranmore, Widney, Monkspath and Solihull Business Parks and on to Blythe Valley Business Park which can be found at the junction with the M42 motorway, providing access to the Midland Motorway Network.
