About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B36 8JP. The property offers 99mยฒ (1066 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.
