This three-bedroom semi-detached on Shirley Road offers straightforward space and strong value-add potential in Acocks Green. The property includes a driveway, integral garage and decent front and rear gardens — a practical layout for family living or a renovation project.
Internally the house has an L-shaped living room, a kitchen with side access, three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property requires modernisation throughout (dated fittings, visible damp in living room wallpaper and worn finishes) but retains double glazing and a filled cavity wall construction that reduce immediate structural unknowns.
Practical considerations: heating is electric room heaters rather than a mains gas central system, and the property is in a high-crime, very deprived local area, which will affect insurance and resale timing. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal and nearby schools make it suitable for families or investors prepared to renovate and manage local area factors.
In short, this is a compact, freehold three-bedroom home with tangible scope to add value by updating services and interiors; best for buyers seeking a hands-on refurbishment or an investor targeting rental demand in a well-connected suburb.
