This traditional mid-terrace Victorian house on Albert Road offers a compact, character-filled home for a growing family or first-time buyer seeking footprint and potential close to Handsworth schools. Period features such as a bay window, high ceilings, coving and a decorative fireplace give the property charm while double glazing and central heating provide everyday comfort. The small front garden and enclosed rear garden add outdoor space unusual for inner-city terraces.
Internally the layout is straightforward: two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and a family bathroom on the first floor, with three bedrooms upstairs. At 623 sq ft the house is modestly sized — practical for a young family or those trading down — and presented with largely neutral finishes and laminate flooring that will suit many buyers without immediate works. Broadband speeds are fast and tenure is freehold, with very low council tax helping running costs.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average local crime; this is a material local drawback that affects resale and insurance considerations. The plot is small and overall living space limited; anyone needing larger rooms or more garden should consider this. The property appears structurally sound from the description but offers clear scope for cosmetic updating rather than full refurbishment.
Priced at £245,000, the house will appeal to families, first-time buyers and investors seeking a period terrace with rental potential in a major conurbation. The combination of period character, low running costs and proximity to several well-rated schools is a genuine selling point, balanced by the compact size and local area challenges.
