This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Hillyfields Road offers a practical starter home or buy-to-let opportunity in Erdington. The property is freehold, has off-street parking, a decent rear garden and double glazing fitted after 2002. Its mains gas boiler and radiator heating provide reliable warmth.
The house dates from the 1930–1949 period and retains period features such as bay windows and a tiled roof, but much of the interior is dated. Rooms are medium or small in size and the accommodation will benefit from cosmetic updating and possible insulation upgrades to the solid brick walls.
The location is convenient for local schools, shops, parks and transport links, and broadband and mobile signal are strong. Buyers should note the area scores as very deprived with a high local crime rate; consider this when weighing long-term capital growth versus rental yield.
Overall, this property suits a first-time buyer prepared to modernise, or an investor seeking a rentable home in a well-connected part of Birmingham. The straightforward layout and freehold tenure make refurbishment and reconfiguration relatively simple, but budget for improvement works.
