A spacious three-bedroom Edwardian mid-terrace in Sparkhill, positioned a short walk from Stratford Road’s shops and frequent transport into Birmingham city centre. The house offers two reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen with utility room and a practical downstairs WC — layout suited to family life or rental occupancy.
Upstairs comprises three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a loft room that adds flexible space for a home office or occasional guest room. Features include double glazing and original period character such as bay windows and high ceilings that enhance natural light and street presence. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
Buyers should note key issues: there is currently no central heating system (electric heaters assumed) and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, so upgrading heating and insulation will be required. The property sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime level, which may affect suitability for some purchasers or influence rental demand and insurance costs.
Overall this freehold mid-terrace is a practical, well‑located property for a growing family seeking good local amenities, or an investor targeting rental income after modest refurbishment. The layout and loft space give clear scope to improve energy performance and add value with careful upgrading.
