A larger-than-average two-bedroom Edwardian terrace in Selly Park, offered freehold with no onward chain. The house totals about 997 sq ft across two storeys, with two reception rooms, a kitchen, and an oversized shower room upstairs. Original red-brick character and a small attractive rear garden give scope for comfortable city living close to the University of Birmingham and Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
This home is well suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a lettable property in a busy, well-connected neighbourhood. It has gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and good mobile and broadband speeds. Nearby schools include several highly rated primaries and two outstanding selective secondary schools, which will appeal to families.
Be realistic about work and location: the property is in a deprived area with a higher than average crime rate and sits within a cosmopolitan, student-dominated neighbourhood. The solid brick walls likely lack insulation and the house may benefit from energy upgrades and modernisation in parts. The plot is small and outdoor space is limited.
Overall this is a practical, well-located starter home with clear potential to improve value through targeted refurbishment and insulation upgrades. Buyers should budget for updating and factor local area characteristics into future plans.
