A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace offering practical family accommodation in Bearwood. The house combines period character — bay windows and high ceilings — with a useful rear extension and modern essentials such as a newly fitted Worcester boiler with a 10-year warranty and integrated kitchen appliances. The layout provides flexible living across two reception rooms, a rear study/extension and a ground-floor utility/WC.
The accommodation is compact but efficiently arranged across approximately 926 sq ft, suitable for a small family, first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The recently refitted bathroom and double-glazed windows add immediate comfort, while the rear extension and loft access offer scope for further adaptation subject to planning and personal preference.
Location is a genuine strength: steps from Lightwoods Park, Warley Woods and lively Bearwood high street amenities. Good road links to the M5/M6 and access to local hospitals and schools make everyday travel straightforward. The enclosed rear garden and small front setback are typical of Victorian terraces and provide low-maintenance outdoor space.
A few practical points to note: exterior walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so EPC improvements could be considered. Plot width is narrow and garden space is modest, limiting large-scale extensions. Overall the house presents a ready-to-live-in base with sensible potential for targeted energy upgrades and cosmetic modernisation.
