This five-bedroom semi-detached house in Bournville Village Trust presents a mixed bag. Its location within the sought-after Bournville Village Trust is a strong positive, offering residents access to green spaces, good schools (several ‘Good’ rated schools are within a kilometer), and a generally pleasant residential environment. The proximity to Selly Oak also provides convenient access to additional amenities and transport links. However, the property’s condition is the primary concern. The images reveal an interior requiring significant modernisation and updating. Features such as dated carpets, kitchen units, and bathroom fixtures suggest a substantial refurbishment would be necessary before the property would be considered move-in ready. The presence of a garden is a bonus, although its size and condition are modest. There appears to be a patio and greenhouse at the rear of the property. While the asking price is not drastically out of line with other homes in the area, it is important to consider the costs of the necessary renovations that will likely significantly increase the total cost of ownership. The lack of information about the plot size prevents a definitive conclusion on the overall value proposition. Potential buyers should factor in a substantial budget for renovation and carefully weigh this investment against the property’s location and potential future value.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
