A compact two-bedroom bungalow arranged on a single level, offered as 70% shared ownership for over-55s. The property sits on Birchdale Avenue within easy reach of Gravelly Hill station and Erdington’s shops, making everyday errands and public transport straightforward. Interiors include a fitted kitchen, shower room and a small patio off the kitchen, plus communal gardens and a driveway for off-street parking.
This home is practical and low-maintenance: double glazing is installed and electric storage heating provides straightforward warmth. At about 587 sq ft the layout suits a single person or couple looking to downsize from a larger home while retaining outdoor space and parking. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support staying connected and working from home.
Important considerations: the sale is leasehold and 70% shared ownership, so full ownership costs and eligibility should be confirmed before proceeding. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs. The surrounding area scores high for crime and marked local deprivation, so buyers should visit at different times and confirm personal safety and community suitability. Overall, this is a sensible, entry-level retirement option with transport links and low council tax, suited to downsizers seeking a manageable, single-storey home.
