This end-of-terrace property on Turfpits Lane offers a practical, low-cost entry into the Birmingham market. The house is freehold, chain-free and sits on a decent plot with a large paved driveway for three cars and a private rear garden accessed from the kitchen/diner. It will suit first-time buyers wanting straightforward accommodation or investors seeking a rentable, commuter-friendly property with fast broadband and nearby transport links.
Internally the layout is conventional and efficient: a front lounge, kitchen/diner with patio doors to the garden, and two double bedrooms plus a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower. The build date (2003–2006) and recent double glazing suggest basic thermal performance is acceptable, and council tax is low. The property appears clean and liveable but will benefit from cosmetic updating to maximise value.
Important practical points: heating is by electric room heaters rather than a gas central system, which can increase running costs and may affect mortgage or insurance options. The overall internal area is small (about 560 sq ft), so space is compact. The property is located in a very deprived area with average crime levels and a local demographic skewed to social renting young families; buyers should factor local market conditions into affordability or rental projections.
Overall this is a straightforward, ready-to-move-into small family house or buy-to-let opportunity: strong parking, private garden and transport links are clear positives, while small internal size and electric heating are the main limitations. Buyers seeking further value can consider targeted modernisation of kitchen and heating, or modest extensions subject to planning.
