Summary - Old Croft Lane, Shard End, Birmingham B34 7BY
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Self-build semi in cul-de-sac; needs modernisation, good scope for a family update.
Three double bedrooms, two reception rooms
Set in a cul-de-sac off Old Croft Lane, this self-build semi-detached house offers three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and an integral garage with driveway parking. The layout is traditional and family-friendly, with a front lounge opening to a rear dining room and patio doors onto a private rear garden. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the home practical for modern family life.
The property is in need of modernisation throughout, so it will suit a buyer prepared to update kitchens, bathrooms and internal finishes to their own taste. Key structural features — integral garage, side entrance, downstairs WC, separate upstairs WC and a useful storage cupboard housing the boiler — reduce immediate alteration needs while offering scope for improvement.
Location-wise the house sits in a hard-pressed, very deprived area with above-average local crime statistics; buyers should weigh local area factors alongside the property’s internal potential. There is no flood risk, the tenure is freehold and council tax is described as affordable. Schools nearby are rated Good, and local amenities include bus links and community facilities.
This is a practical purchase for a growing family or a hands-on buyer seeking value through refurbishment. The lack of upward chain simplifies moving timescales but the home will require investment to reach modern standards.
