A traditional three-bedroom Victorian terraced house offering a mix of period character and practical living space. The property features two reception rooms (one with a bay window), a modern-style kitchen, a ground-floor bathroom and a private rear garden. At about 851 sq ft, rooms are average in size and the layout will suit first-time buyers or young families seeking a central Kings Heath location with good local amenities.
The house benefits from double glazing, mains gas supply and fast broadband and mobile signal. Its freehold tenure, proximity to Kings Heath High Street, local parks and a strong cluster of well-rated schools add clear lifestyle value. The soon-to-be-completed Kings Heath train station will strengthen transport links to the city centre.
Notable drawbacks are factual and material: the property sits in an area with very high recorded crime and higher deprivation indices, and the external walls are solid brick with no known insulation (typical of its 1900–1929 construction). The EPC is D, and the heating system includes room heaters with the central boiler located in the kitchen. Some rooms and fixtures show mid-century or dated elements and there is clear potential for improvement and energy-efficiency upgrades.
This house will appeal to buyers who prioritise location, school access and period character but are prepared to carry out cosmetic updating and basic energy improvements. For investors or buyers seeking a low-maintenance turnkey home, the property will require considered refurbishment work to improve long-term comfort and running costs.
