Summary - 231 Thurlestone Road B31 4PA
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious rooms and easy parking close to shops, schools and transport links.
Three bedrooms: two doubles and one single
A three-bedroom 1930s semi offers practical family living with generous reception space and useful garden/dining room. The bay-fronted lounge and large kitchen provide comfortable day-to-day living, while a paved drive gives off-street parking for one to two cars. Positioned about 0.9 miles from Longbridge retail park, the house is well placed for schools, transport links and green spaces such as Cofton Park and The Lickey Hills.
The layout suits families: two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a ground-floor shower/WC plus a first-floor family shower room. The rear garden combines a paved patio with a lawn and flower beds, giving children outdoor space and room for dining and storage. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and the property is freehold with low council tax.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is built in the 1930s with solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher unless upgraded. Interiors show some mid-century fittings and dated finishes that would benefit from modernization and cosmetic updating. The plot is small and the area records higher local deprivation, which should be factored into longer-term investment plans.
Overall this is a sensible family purchase or a buy-to-let opportunity for buyers happy to carry out modest updating. Its strengths are location, room sizes and parking; its limitations are the need for energy improvements, some interior refurbishment and a modest garden/plot size.
