Description

This two-bedroom freehold terraced house is set just off Harborne High Street, within reach of local shops and restaurants, Birmingham city centre, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the University of Birmingham. It is offered with no onward chain and requires general modernisation, giving a purchaser scope to update the accommodation to their requirements. The ground floor includes a vestibule and hallway leading to an open-plan lounge and dining room, with a front bay window and a further window overlooking the rear garden. The separate kitchen has fitted wall and base units, appliance connections, a pantry cupboard and a wall-mounted gas combi boiler, with a door to the garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms, both with fitted storage, and a bathroom with a bath, electric shower over, WC and wash basin. Outside, the enclosed rear garden includes paved areas, planted borders, two brick-built outbuildings, a shed and rear access. The property also has a paved front area behind a privet hedge. It is freehold and in Council Tax Band C.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This is a light, liveable modernisation project in a strong central Harborne position, just off the High Street and within reach of the university and Queen Elizabeth Hospital. The lounge and dining area connect into one generous space, while the established rear garden—with paved seating, mature planting and brick outbuildings—adds particular appeal. Dated finishes across the photographed rooms give a new owner scope to refresh the house and put their own stamp on it.

The score is a cautious 53/100 (D): the project and location have merit, but value against local £/sqf cannot yet be judged because the floor area is missing. The £289,950 asking price therefore cannot be assessed against local floor-area values from the available information.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh the dated finishes and floor coverings across the photographed rooms to give the interior a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
  • The connected lounge/dining space offers a generous central living area to update around the existing layout.
  • Make the most of the established rear garden, with its paved seating, mature planting and brick outbuildings.
