A traditional semi-detached house in Birmingham with three bedrooms, generous gardens and clear potential for modernisation
A traditional semi-detached family home in a sought-after part of Hodge Hill, this Brockhurst Road property is on the market for offers in excess of £495,000 and comes with plenty of space, character and clear potential for buyers willing to modernise.
The home is being marketed by Purplebricks, with the full brochure and floor plan giving a clear idea of how much flexibility is on offer both inside and out.
Inside, the layout is classic and well proportioned, starting with an enclosed porch and welcoming reception hallway. Two generous reception rooms sit at the heart of the home, offering separate living and dining spaces that could be reworked or opened up, subject to the new owner’s plans.


The kitchen is complemented by a separate utility or laundry room, while a downstairs shower room adds everyday practicality.
Upstairs, there are three good-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom, making this a solid option for families or buyers looking to add value over time.
The property is in need of some modernisation, but that also means a blank canvas for anyone keen to put their own stamp on a long-term home.


Outside, the house really comes into its own, with a good-sized private rear garden that offers genuine scope for extension, subject to planning permission. To the front, there’s a multi-vehicle driveway and a garage, giving plenty of parking and storage.
The property is freehold, falls under council tax band B, and is well placed for local amenities, schools and transport links in Birmingham.
