This Victorian mid-terrace offers an affordable three-bedroom layout on Oldfield Road, presented with no upward chain and a freehold title. The house is compact but practical: two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, and a small paved rear garden. At 915 sq ft, the footprint suits first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward entry into inner-city Birmingham.
Location is a clear asset: schools, parks, shops and frequent transport links are within walking distance, and mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong. The property’s traditional brick construction and high ceilings retain period character and offer clear scope for improvement and value uplift through targeted refurbishment.
Buyers should note material drawbacks honestly. The area is in a very deprived band with high local crime levels — factors that affect desirability and lettability. The walls are solid brick with no known insulation, so thermal upgrades would improve comfort and running costs. Internal room sizes are narrow and the plot is small, limiting rear outdoor space and lateral layout changes.
For the right purchaser this is a pragmatic purchase: a low council-tax, freehold terrace priced to reflect its condition and location. Investors can achieve rental income after modest works; first-time buyers get an affordable entry with straightforward renovation potential.
