This four-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house offers period character and high ceilings across compact accommodation. Set on a small plot, the property includes two reception rooms, a rear garden and freehold tenure — useful for buyers wanting direct control.
The house requires updating throughout: the kitchen is mid-20th-century and dated, and the layout has ground-floor rooms currently used as bedrooms. At about 611 sq ft overall, space is limited; the home suits buyers prepared to reconfigure and modernise rather than those seeking move-in-ready comfort.
Location is a strong practical advantage. Bus links and nearby train stations provide straightforward commuting into Birmingham city centre, and several local primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working or rental demand.
Be realistic about local context: the area is classed as very deprived with very high crime levels. That affects resale and letting prospects and should factor into finance or renovation plans. Council tax costs are relatively low, which helps running costs while works are completed.
