This two-bedroom Victorian end-of-terrace on Birmingham Road is a straightforward refurbishment project with clear potential. The property is freehold, has a rear garden and a decent plot, and sits close to multiple train stations and local amenities — attractive features for lettings or resale after repair.
Internally the layout comprises a lounge, fitted kitchen and first-floor bathroom. The house needs modernisation throughout; expect cosmetic and likely mechanical updates. EPC rating is pending, and buyers should budget for full refurbishment and any statutory safety checks before occupation or rental.
The location offers fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to schools rated Good, supermarkets and the M5. However, the immediate area is very deprived with very high crime levels; this will affect resale values and lettability, so plan security improvements and realistic rental assumptions.
Sensible buyers will view this as a value-entry project: low council tax (Band A), no flood risk and straightforward Victorian construction reduce some long-term risk, but the property requires investment and careful local-market assessment before committing.
