Compact Victorian terrace near University and hospital — ideal starter home or rental pick.
Three bedrooms with built-in storage units
Set on a traditional Victorian terrace in Selly Oak, this compact three-bedroom freehold offers practical living close to the University of Birmingham, QE Hospital and city centre. The ground floor provides an open-plan dining and lounge with a bay window, while the low-maintenance rear garden and new fence panels add everyday convenience.
The property is presented as ready to move into with full double glazing, built-in bedroom storage and a fitted kitchen. At about 764 sq ft across multiple storeys, it suits first-time buyers looking for a manageable starter home and investors targeting strong local rental demand from students and professionals.
Buyers should note constraints: the overall footprint and plot are small, there is a single bathroom, and the local area scores as deprived with above-average crime levels. While the house has been maintained, there is obvious scope to modernise or reconfigure to increase living space or rental income.
This is a pragmatic purchase: a period terrace with character, close to excellent transport links and top-performing local schools. It will appeal to those prioritising location and rental potential over outdoor space and large rooms.
