A traditional Victorian mid-terrace offering two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a modern kitchen — a straightforward starter home or buy-to-let in Sparkhill. The property is chain free and freehold, with gas central heating, double glazing and a paved rear garden with brick store. Council Tax Band A and EPC rating E point to low running costs but scope for efficiency improvements.
Internally the house retains period character such as a bay window and ceiling cornicing in the front reception, while practical updates include a fitted gloss modern kitchen and a fitted boiler. The layout is compact across approximately 958 sq ft with good-sized reception rooms and storage under the stairs; the first-floor bathroom serves both double bedrooms. The house is presented as habitable but with clear potential to refresh and add value.
Notable considerations: the area has high crime rates and is in a very deprived ward, which may affect long-term resale and tenant demand. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (original construction pre-1900), and the EPC grade E indicates improvement work — loft/wall insulation and glazing/boiler upgrades could reduce bills. The rear garden and overall plot are small, so outdoor space is limited.
This property suits a first-time buyer looking for an affordable entry into the local market or an investor seeking a straightforward rental opportunity close to local amenities and schools. It is best viewed with an eye for modest renovation and energy-efficiency upgrades to maximise future value.
