This two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Birmingham on a freehold title. The house sits in a compact plot with a small rear garden and an off-street garage, useful for storage or conversion to secure parking. Gas central heating, a boiler with radiators and double glazing (install date unknown) are already in place; the EPC is rated C.
The property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-cost purchase with immediate letting or modest improvement potential. The layout includes a bay-front living room, fitted kitchen and a family bathroom. There is scope to improve kerb appeal and increase value by creating off-road parking from the fore garden and updating interior finishes.
Be clear about the local context: the area is classified as very deprived with a high crime rate, and local services reflect a mixed quality—several nearby primary schools are rated Good, while one is noted as Requires Improvement. Transport links are a strength, with nearby train stations and motorway access supporting commutes. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
Overall this is a practical, budget-conscious purchase with tangible upside from cosmetic renovation and parking work, but buyers should factor in neighbourhood challenges and potential investment in security and interior updating.
