This small Grade II listed end-terrace offers authentic Tudor-style character and exposed beams across a compact two-bedroom layout. The lounge and one bedroom feature original fireplaces, and the property benefits from mains gas central heating and a modest footprint of about 593 sq ft — appealing for buyers seeking a character cottage close to Sutton Coldfield.
Externally there is off-street parking, a paved patio, lawn and a substantial outbuilding with seating and office areas — useful for home working or storage. The plot is relatively large for the house size, giving usable outdoor space and flexible secondary accommodation possibilities in the outbuilding.
Important practical points: listed status will restrict changes and may complicate repairs or improvements; the walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, so upgrading thermal performance will require specialist, sensitive work. The EPC rating is D and the property is small in overall size, so prospective buyers should budget for careful conservation-style improvements rather than full modernisation.
Location adds commuter appeal with quick access to the M42 and village amenities nearby, while local schools and a semi-rural setting suit buyers wanting quieter living close to transport links. Note the local crime level is above average — viewings and surveys should include neighbourhood checks and confirmation of boundaries, services and any listed-building consents required.
