We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
An excellent opportunity to purchase a traditional three-bedroom detached family home situated on the ever-popular Midhurst Road, Kings Norton, offered to the market with no onward chain.
The property has been extended and provides well-proportioned accommodation throughout but would benefit from updating and modernisation, presenting a fantastic opportunity for buyers to create a long-term family home tailored to their own requirements.
Occupying a generous plot, the property further benefits from driveway parking, a garage and a south-westerly facing rear garden, offering significant potential for improvement or reconfiguration, subject to the usual planning permissions.
Kings Norton is a highly regarded and well-established residential area, centred around the historic Kings Norton Green, with a range of local amenities and facilities close by.
Nearby Cotteridge offers commuter rail and bus services, local shopping and excellent access to surrounding areas, while Kings Norton Park and playing fields provide valuable outdoor green space.
The area also benefits from easy access to the Rea Valley national cycle route, which follows the canals and river through to Cannon Hill Park and onwards into Birmingham City Centre.
Additionally, the property is well positioned for a selection of highly regarded independent and state secondary schools, making this a particularly appealing location for families.
