This well-presented mid-20th-century terraced house on Swinford Road offers a practical two-bedroom layout ideal for first-time buyers or young families. Recently renovated throughout, the home combines contemporary finishes with original mid-century proportions across about 735 sq ft. The kitchen-diner and living room are bright and modern, and two double bedrooms provide straightforward family or sharer accommodation.
The property includes a good-sized rear garden with patio and lawn — a rare outside space for the area — and double glazing installed after 2002. Energy Performance is rated D and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. The house is freehold and falls in Birmingham Council Tax Band B.
Buyers should note a few material considerations: there is no off-road parking (on-street only), a medium flood risk for the location, and an electricity pylon stands behind the rear boundary. The area is classified as deprived with an urban cultural mix and strong local demand from students and young families because of proximity to the University of Birmingham, Queen Elizabeth Hospital and good transport links.
Overall, this is a move-in-ready mid-terrace offering immediate occupation and rental or owner-occupier appeal. It suits buyers seeking a compact, low-maintenance home close to major local employers and schools, while being realistic about parking and site constraints.
