This three-bedroom, end-of-terrace home on Curbar Road offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers. The property benefits from a modern open-plan kitchen/diner and a recently fitted family bathroom, making daily living comfortable from day one. Its off-street driveway and private rear garden add practical outdoor space that’s rare at this price point.
Internally the layout is traditional and well-proportioned: a spacious living room with a bay window, two good-sized double bedrooms, a single bedroom and useful porch/hallway space. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place, reducing the immediate need for major works. No upward chain and freehold tenure simplify the purchase process for buyers looking to move quickly.
Notable considerations are factual: the house was constructed in the mid-20th century with solid brick walls and is assumed to lack wall insulation, so there is scope (and potential cost) to improve energy efficiency. The plot is modest and the property sits in an area classified as deprived with blue-collar terraces, which may affect long-term value uplift compared with more affluent neighbourhoods. The rear outlook is residential rather than scenic.
Overall this is a practical, well-presented starter home in a convenient location close to good local primary schools and public transport links into Birmingham city centre. Buyers seeking a tidy, affordable three-bed with parking, a garden and limited immediate renovation needs should arrange a viewing to assess the fit for their plans.
