Set on a traditional Victorian terrace in Selly Park, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers straightforward, affordable homeownership close to city connections and schools. The layout includes two reception rooms, a galley kitchen, a modern ground-floor wet room and a family bathroom upstairs — practical spaces ready for everyday living or rental occupation.
The house retains period character such as a bay window and red brick frontage, and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. At about 839 sq ft and freehold, the property represents good value for first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable renovation project with rental potential in a predominantly private-renting neighbourhood.
There are important things to note: the area records higher crime and deprivation levels, and the mid-terrace sits on a small plot with a low-maintenance rear garden. The walls are likely solid brick with no built-in insulation and the exact age of the double glazing is unknown, so buyers should budget for possible insulation, energy-efficiency and cosmetic work to improve comfort and running costs.
Nearby schools include several well-rated primaries and top independent secondary options, while local amenities and fast broadband make the location practical for commuting or student/young-professional lets. Overall this is a pragmatic purchase for someone seeking affordability, character and scope to add value.
