An attractive Victorian semi-detached family house offering generous living space across about 1,572 sq ft. The property retains many original features — high ceilings, Minton tiles, cast‑iron fireplaces and a stained‑glass bay — and provides flexible accommodation with three reception rooms and three double bedrooms. A large mature rear garden, detached workshop and off‑street parking for two cars add everyday practicality.
The layout suits growing families who value period character and separate living zones: front and rear reception rooms, a dining room and a useful utility room with garden access. The kitchen is fitted with panelled units, an oven and gas hob and benefits from a vaulted ceiling with a skylight. The first floor includes a main bedroom with sash windows and an en‑suite, plus a fully tiled family bathroom.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks: the EPC rating is E, the double glazing was installed before 2002 and the original solid brick walls are likely uninsulated — modernisation and insulation upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. The property sits in an area with above‑average crime and high deprivation, which may concern some purchasers. Council tax band D and freehold tenure are helpful practical points.
Overall this is a sizeable, characterful home in a well‑served part of Moseley with good local schools and strong mobile and broadband connectivity. It will particularly appeal to families wanting period features and garden space who are prepared to carry out energy and cosmetic updating to personalise and improve the house.
