This chain-free, two-bedroom semi-detached house on Shady Lane offers an accessible entry into Great Barr’s market. The property is freehold, arranged over multiple storeys with a practical layout that includes a porch, a cosy living room, fitted kitchen and a bright conservatory. Two double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. Gas central heating and double glazing provide year-round comfort; council tax band B keeps running costs relatively low.
Externally the home benefits from a paved low-maintenance front garden, a decent-size private rear garden and a fully electric double garage at the rear. The garage gives useful flex — parking, workshop, gym or home office — with retained rear access for vehicles. Local amenities, good bus and rail links and several nearby Ofsted-rated Good schools make this location practical for first-time buyers and landlords seeking reliable tenant demand.
Buyers should note some maintenance and energy considerations. The conservatory needs attention and the original solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, contributing to the property’s EPC D rating. The wider area is classified as deprived, which may influence long-term resale and rental yields. Overall, the house is well suited to buyers who want a straightforward, chain-free purchase with scope for targeted improvements — particularly insulation and minor conservatory work — to add comfort and value.
