A well-presented Victorian mid-terrace offering two large double bedrooms across two floors, set on a sought-after road in Yardley. The ground floor flows from a front lounge into a dining room and an extended kitchen, with a landscaped rear garden and small front garden providing private outdoor space.
Practical comforts include mains gas central heating, double glazing and a recently extended kitchen with integrated appliances. At approximately 588 sq ft this is a compact home suited to a first-time buyer or small family who value location and commuter links — the A45 and local bus routes provide direct access to the M42 and Birmingham city centre.
Buyers should note material local factors: the area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect insurance and personal security considerations. The property’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (typical of its era), and the double glazing install date is not recorded — further checks on thermal performance are advised.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, low council tax, proximity to Yardley Primary School and local shops, and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity. Overall this home presents an affordable, ready-to-live-in starter with clear potential, balanced by location-specific risks buyers must weigh carefully.
