Summary - 85 THE FORDROUGH NORTHFIELD BIRMINGHAM B31 3LH
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Garage, driveway and garden — renovation opportunity with clear value uplift potential.
Two double bedrooms, chain free sale
A chain-free, two-bedroom semi-detached in Northfield offering clear scope for uplift and rental or resale appeal. Set on a decent plot with driveway parking and an attached garage, the house benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a private rear garden — solid basics for a renovation project.
Internally the layout includes a porch, entrance hall, lounge, kitchen-diner with adjoining utility, and two double bedrooms served by a modern fitted bathroom. Photographs and descriptions indicate cosmetic and mid-renovation works: exposed finishes, dated kitchen fittings, and some exterior render and driveway resurfacing required. The property is freehold and of post‑war construction, giving straightforward scope to modernise without listed‑building constraints.
This is best suited to an investor or buyer prepared to carry out improvement works. With a relatively compact 637 sq ft footprint and modest purchase price, sensible updating of the kitchen, flooring and external surfacing should deliver noticeable value uplift. Note the local context: the area is very deprived with above‑average crime rates, so buyers should consider this for owner‑occupation or factor into rental prospects and security measures.
Practical advantages include fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, cheap council tax, and proximity to several Good‑rated primary and secondary schools. Essentials such as Tesco and local healthcare are close by. Buyers should budget for renovations beyond cosmetic decoration, and allow for a survey to check for any hidden structural or services work before committing.
