Summary - 195, Stoney Lane, Balsall Heath B12 8HB
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable three-bed Victorian terrace with garden and good transport links—ideal first purchase or small investment.
Victorian mid-terrace with period sash and arched windows
A red-brick Victorian mid-terrace offering three bedrooms across 888 sq ft — an affordable freehold starter home close to Ladypool Road and Stoney Lane amenities. The layout includes porch, entrance hall, lounge, dining room, fitted breakfast kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and a low-maintenance rear garden. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place where specified, so the property is ready to occupy while still offering scope to personalise.
The house retains period character (sash/arched windows, solid brick walls) but dates from before 1900 and appears to have no wall insulation. Expect small-to-medium room sizes and standard ceiling heights typical of Victorian terraces. There is only one bathroom and a small plot, so families or sharers should note the compact footprint.
Location is a clear asset for first-time buyers: fast broadband, frequent bus links into the city, nearby shopping, cafes, parks and several primary schools rated Good. Local area is ethnically diverse with a young community profile and is classed as very deprived, which can affect long-term neighbourhood investment and requires consideration.
This property suits a buyer seeking a value entry into Birmingham with scope to upgrade insulation, add modern finishes or reshape the layout. It also presents straightforward investor potential given the three-bedroom plan and proximity to transport, but purchasers should factor in maintenance and retrofit costs. Flood risk is low and the tenure is freehold.
