Tucked in a quiet cul-de-sac in Great Barr, this three-bedroom semi-detached home suits growing families seeking practical space and scope to personalise. The living room's front bay floods the ground floor with light and opens through to a dining kitchen and sun lounge that leads out to a modest, easy-maintain rear garden and deck.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms plus a single, a well-appointed bathroom and a steep staircase to a useful loft area — excellent for storage or conversion subject to inspection and building regulations. The house benefits from majority double glazing and gas central heating for year-round comfort.
Buyers should note a few material points: some side windows are single glazed, the property sits on solid brick (no confirmed wall insulation), and the front gravelled area is set behind a kerb that has not been dropped. There is also a rear right of way across the garden and local crime levels are above average. These factors present clear renovation or upgrade tasks but also opportunities to add value and modern efficiency.
Overall this freehold home offers solid 1930s-40s construction, practical family layout and loft potential in a convenient location near good primary and secondary schools. It's a straightforward purchase for families or buyers prepared to invest modestly to improve energy performance and security.
