This Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage blends period character with compact, practical living in Harborne. The property offers generous reception and kitchen/diner spaces for its size, gas central heating, and partial secondary glazing, making it comfortable straightaway for a small household.
Ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a character home with improvement potential, the cottage is chain free and set on a small paved courtyard with gated access. The layout includes an entrance reception, useful lobby/storage and utility area, stairs from the kitchen to two bedrooms and a large family bathroom — all within an average-sized urban footprint (approx. 775 sqft).
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building: any alterations will be subject to listed-building constraints and may require specialist consent and expense. The property has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), an EPC rating of D (58) and a small rear courtyard rather than a larger garden, which limits exterior expansion.
Overall this is a straightforward, character-filled cottage suited to a buyer wanting a manageable first home or a buy-to-let with good local demand. It represents immediate occupation potential with clear scope for sympathetic updating, but listed status and likely retrofit work should be factored into budgets.
