Affordable two-bed Victorian terrace with garden and excellent transport links.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace, approx 667 sq ft
This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Charles Edward Road offers an affordable, freehold entry to Birmingham for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. At about 667 sq ft the layout is traditional, with a long through lounge, fitted kitchen and a private rear garden — well maintained and ready to occupy.
Practical attributes include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of D. The property benefits from excellent transport links to Birmingham city centre, the airport, NEC and rail connections, plus nearby shops, leisure amenities and several good-rated primary and secondary schools.
Important negatives are factual and should influence viewing decisions: the area records very high crime and is classed as very deprived, the plot is small and the original solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. The terrace dates from 1900–1929, so there may be age-related maintenance or upgrading needs over time.
Overall this is a straightforward, budget-friendly home with strong connectivity and local services. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance starter home or investors targeting rental demand will find clear potential, but should factor local area safety and possible thermal improvements into their plans.
