This three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Birmingham Road is a freehold property offering clear refurbishment potential for first-time buyers or investors. The house retains period features such as a bay window and brick facade but requires full modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely deeper works are needed to bring rooms up to contemporary standards.
Set in a densely populated urban area with strong public transport links, the location is practical for commuting and everyday needs. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or rental demand; nearby train stations and the M5 provide easy regional access. Local schools have good Ofsted ratings, and a wide range of shops, places of worship and amenities are within walking distance.
Important negatives are factual: the property needs renovation, sits in a very high-crime, very deprived ward and has a small rear garden and only one bathroom. Buyers should budget for repairs, modernisation and possible safety upgrades. The EPC is not provided and further inspections are recommended to confirm the condition of services and structure.
For a buyer prepared to invest time and money, the house offers affordable entry into the area, potential rental income or family occupation after renovation, and retains period charm that can be emphasised in a refurbishment plan.
