A practical three-bedroom end-of-terrace in Selly Oak offering straightforward accommodation, off-street parking and a small private garden. The house includes a through reception room, kitchen/diner, conservatory and first-floor bathroom — a functional layout that suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking rental income or easy refurbishment potential.
Built in the mid-20th century, the property benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating and an attached single garage. The rear garden is paved and low-maintenance; driveway parking adds convenience in a busy urban area. Energy Performance Rating D and Council Tax Band B help keep running costs moderate.
Notable positives are proximity to Birmingham University, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and strong public transport links, which support both tenant demand and resale prospects. The local area features good schools and amenities, and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Key drawbacks to consider: the overall footprint and room sizes are modest, the home is lived-in and will benefit from modernisation to maximise value, and the immediate area records very high crime levels — buyers should factor this into security and insurance costs. Tenure details are not confirmed and should be verified before exchange.
