Freehold two-bedroom semi-detached house, council tax Band A
A straightforward two-bedroom semi on Highgate Street offering an affordable entry into the property market. The home is freehold, council tax band A and comes with an off-street stone-chipped forecourt plus a private rear garden — practical assets for first-time buyers wanting outdoor space and parking.
Internally the layout is sensible: a bay-front reception room, kitchen/diner, utility room and two double bedrooms with a family bathroom. The house benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and fast broadband/mobile connectivity, making it ready for modern living while you plan improvements.
The property will suit buyers prepared to modernise. The exterior and interiors show dated fittings and décor; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and some updating to fixtures, finishes and possibly wiring should be expected. The plot is modest and the neighbourhood faces higher-than-average crime and local area deprivation, so check local conditions and security options.
Overall this is a practical, low-cost purchase for someone looking to personalise a home and build equity. Transport links into Birmingham and local schools nearby add to the appeal, but buyers should budget for refurbishment and consider security measures given the local context.
