Summary - 8 MERRIVALE ROAD SMETHWICK B66 4EJ
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Close to Bearwood shops, parks and quick commuting into Birmingham.
Chain-free freehold mid-terrace, approximately 975 sq ft
This chain-free, freehold mid-terrace offers a spacious two-bedroom layout across multiple floors, ideal for an investor or buyer seeking rental income or a first home with room to grow. The property measures about 975 sq ft, with two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a rear garden — practical everyday living close to Bearwood High Street and Warley Woods.
Built in the early 1900s, the house benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern tenants or remote working. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and local amenities and transport links provide easy access to Birmingham city centre and City Hospital.
There are clear maintenance and energy-performance considerations. The property sits on solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, and the EPC is rated E, so further insulation and upgrading could be required to improve comfort and running costs. The plot is small and the neighbourhood records above-average crime and higher area deprivation compared with wider regional averages — factors to weigh for rental demand and family buyers.
Overall, this is a practical, chain-free purchase with income potential or scope for modest investment improvements. Buyers looking for a low-entry freehold terraced house near local shops and green space will find straightforward potential here, provided they factor in energy upgrades and local area considerations.
