This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Brickhouse Road offers an affordable freehold opportunity for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout provides a comfortable lounge, a practical kitchen, and two double bedrooms upstairs, all within a compact 691 sqft footprint. A driveway and outdoor storage add everyday convenience. The property is currently tenanted, providing immediate rental income but can be purchased vacant by agreement.
The house sits in a major conurbation with fast broadband and reasonable mobile signal, close to several Good-rated primary and secondary schools and local amenities. The rear garden and small outbuilding give outdoor space and storage; while the plot is described as small, the garden remains usable for children, pets or low-maintenance planting. Council tax is affordable (band C).
Buyers should note this home sits in an area classified as very deprived with above-average crime and local indicators of industrious hardship and hampered neighbourhoods. These factors affect resale speed and rental demand in some tenant markets. The property is described as needing only minor modernisation to increase appeal and rental value, but purchasers should budget for cosmetic updates.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking an entry-level, freehold house with immediate occupancy options, or investors looking for a straightforward let with scope to add value through modest improvements. The location’s transport links to Birmingham and nearby services support commuting and tenant demand, but purchasers must weigh local socio-economic challenges when planning long-term use.
