Set on a residential street in Perry Barr, this 1930s semi-detached offers a traditional layout with three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a driveway with garage. The property is freehold and council tax band B, making running costs comparatively low. Its bay-fronted lounge and potential kitchen/diner provide a practical family footprint in a well-connected urban area.
The house requires renovation throughout: the garden is fully overgrown and inaccessible, the bathroom and kitchen need updating, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. These are honest but manageable works for buyers prepared to invest time and budget — a straightforward refurbishment could deliver strong uplift in comfort and value.
For first-time buyers this is an affordable route onto the property ladder, with nearby outstanding primary schools and regular public transport links. Investors will note the size (about 676 sq ft), good broadband options and low local crime — features that support rental demand after refurbishment.
Practical positives include double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, a decent plot size and a garage. There is no flooding risk and mobile signal is excellent. Buyers should commission a survey to confirm insulation, services and any repair costs before exchange.
