Summary - 279, Gravelly Lane, BIRMINGHAM B23 5SR
2 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Ground-floor maisonette with front and rear gardens
A ground-floor two-bedroom maisonette with front and rear gardens, offered with a long lease (125 years) and low council tax (Band A). The layout is traditional and straightforward: lounge, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a bathroom — an easy-to-manage home for a first purchase or buy-to-let.
Practical running costs and comfort require attention: heating is by electric storage heaters and the main fuel is electricity, so energy bills may be higher than gas-heated homes. The building dates from the late 1970s and has double glazing (install date unknown); the property may benefit from targeted updating and cosmetic refurbishment to maximise resale or rental value.
Located in a busy major-conurbation neighbourhood with good mobile and broadband coverage, this maisonette offers quick access to local shops, buses and several well-regarded schools nearby. There is no recorded flood risk. Note the wider area scores high for deprivation and crime is average—factors to consider for buyers and investors when assessing long-term demand and rental yields.
For someone seeking an affordable, well-located starter home or a practical investment with straightforward management, this property represents solid potential. Expect modest renovation and heating upgrades to unlock better comfort and energy performance.
