This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Selly Oak offers sensible space and clear potential for families or buyers wanting strong transport links. The layout includes a through lounge, fitted kitchen, utility, downstairs WC and an integrated side garage that could be converted subject to planning — useful for extra living space or rental income. The property sits on a small plot with a private rear garden and off-street parking, and is a short distance from the University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and local bus routes.
The house dates from the 1950s–60s and retains mid‑century features; the living areas and bedrooms are of average size and will benefit from updating. Heating is mains gas to boiler and radiators; glazing is double glazed though the installation date is unknown. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements.
This location suits families and students or investors looking for rental demand near the university and hospital. Note the area’s crime level is very high — prospective buyers should consider security measures. Flooding risk is low and council tax is described as affordable, which supports running costs. Viewing is recommended to assess the space and the scope for straightforward renovation or a garage conversion (subject to planning).
