22, Cotteridge Road, Birmingham, B30 3AZ

**charming two-bedroom victorian home | perfect first-time buy | walk to the train station | two reception rooms | four-piece bathroom | mature garden | no chain** Character, great transport links and one of South Birmingham’s most vibrant neighbourhoods right on your doorstep!** This charming two-bedroom Victorian terrace is a fantastic first home, combining period features and generous living space with an excellent location for enjoying everything Stirchley, Cotteridge and Bournville have to offer.

For commuters, the location is a real winner.

Bournville and Kings Norton railway stations are both within easy reach, providing regular links into Birmingham City Centre, while Stirchley’s brilliant independent scene is close by – think coffee shops, bakeries, bars, restaurants and some fantastic places to eat and drink.

Cotteridge is equally convenient for everyday shopping and local independents, with Cotteridge Park and the green spaces around Bournville nearby for weekend walks and time outdoors.

The house itself has plenty of personality.

Two separate reception rooms provide great living and dining spaces, with **decorative cast-iron fireplaces in both rooms** and an attractive bay window to the front.

To the rear is an extended kitchen opening out towards the garden.

Upstairs are two good-sized bedrooms and an unusually generous **four-piece bathroom with separate bath and shower** – a real bonus in a traditional Victorian terrace.

Outside, the mature rear garden is another highlight, with established trees and planting, a patio area for summer evenings and plenty of space to relax or entertain.

Offered with no upward chain, this is a great opportunity for first-time buyers looking for something with more character than a modern starter home – with the train, parks and the independent bars, restaurants and cafés of Stirchley and Cotteridge all close at hand.
