Set on Nineveh Road in Handsworth, this Victorian mid-terrace offers a straightforward entry into homeownership or a buy-to-let purchase. The house has two reception rooms, two bedrooms and an upstairs bathroom, plus an enclosed rear garden — practical rooms laid out in a traditional plan over approximately 732 sq ft. The property is freehold and offered with no upward chain, which can speed up a move or investment completion.
The building retains period character: red brick façade, bay window and high ceilings in parts, with double glazing already fitted (pre-2002). Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. Council tax costs are very low, and the location is close to Birmingham city centre and local amenities, making it attractive for commuters and renters seeking central access.
Important practical points are that the house sits in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime and a medium flood risk; these are material factors for buyers and lenders. The solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated and the glazing and services are older, so buyers should allow budget for energy-efficiency improvements and routine updating. The small plot and traditional layout suit first-time buyers or landlords rather than those seeking large private outdoor space.
Overall, this is a compact, affordable period terrace with immediate occupation potential or straightforward rental use. It will suit someone seeking a low-entry purchase who is willing to manage basic refurbishment and environmental risks to unlock longer-term value.
