Description

This five-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house in Kings Heath offers substantial accommodation across three floors, with period details and scope for modernisation. The ground floor includes a vestibule and long hallway with Minton-style tiled flooring and a stained-glass entrance door, two reception rooms, a WC, breakfast room and a separate kitchen. A cellar is accessed from the hall, and the rear reception room opens towards the garden. Three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC occupy the first floor. Two further bedrooms are on the second floor, including one with a dormer window. Outside, the front is block paved and the rear garden has a lawn, planted borders, side access, an outdoor WC and a store. The property is freehold according to the agent, has gas central heating from a combi boiler in the bathroom and an EPC rating of D. The listing states that previous subsidence caused by a faulty drain has been repaired and that a completion certificate is available. Probate has been granted. Kings Heath has local shops, cafes, restaurants, parks and public transport links, including a train station. The house is described as requiring modernisation, so buyers should assess the condition and scope of work in person.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

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

50out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This Victorian semi has a strong family-home canvas: five stated bedrooms, two reception rooms, a separate breakfast room, cellar and rear garden, alongside character details such as the Minton hallway tiles, stained-glass entrance and fireplaces. The kitchen is in poor visible condition, while dated finishes across several rooms and peeling, damaged wall and ceiling finishes in a second-floor room give a buyer clear scope to renew, redecorate and improve the flooring; the established garden planting and side access add to the appeal. The £38,000–£76,000 renovation range signals a substantial project, and the 50/100 D grade reflects the limited condition score and the fact that the overall value case remains unproven. Floor area is missing, so value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be judged.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the five-bedroom, two-reception layout and separate breakfast room into a refreshed family home while retaining period details such as the Minton tiles, stained glass and fireplaces.
  • Renew the poor-condition kitchen and dated bathroom finishes, then bring the wider rooms together with updated decoration and flooring.
  • Improve the rear garden by making good the cracked, uneven paving and building on its established planting and side access.

Key risks

  • The £38,000–£76,000 works range, damaged finishes in a second-floor room and dated interiors across several rooms make this a substantial budget and programme rather than a cosmetic refresh.
