B77 is one of Tamworth’s most varied residential postcodes, covering areas including Amington, Glascote, Wilnecote, Dosthill and Two Gates. With a mix of established housing, newer developments, local amenities and useful transport connections, it appeals to buyers, tenants and landlords at different stages of their property journey.
Whether you’re buying your first home, looking for more space, renting or considering letting a property, here’s what you need to know about living in B77 in 2026.
An overview of B77 Tamworth
B77 stretches across the eastern and southern parts of Tamworth and offers a broad mix of property.
Traditional terraced streets and post-war semi-detached homes sit alongside newer developments, particularly around Amington and other growing parts of the postcode.
Residents also benefit from access to local shops, schools and green spaces, while Tamworth’s road and rail connections make the wider area practical for people travelling towards Birmingham and other parts of the Midlands.
Property prices in B77
Recent Rightmove sold-price data puts the overall average property price in B77 at approximately £266,097.
Property type makes a significant difference. Recent averages indicate:
- Detached properties: approximately £373,346
- Semi-detached properties: approximately £238,289
- Terraced properties: approximately £197,159
Overall sold prices were around 3% higher than the previous year, although individual property values vary considerably according to location, size, condition and specification.
B77 also remains less expensive overall than neighbouring B78, where recent sold prices average around £281,393.
If you’re considering selling, recent comparable transactions provide a much more useful indication of value than a postcode-wide average.
The rental market in B77
B77 offers rental opportunities across a range of property types, from smaller terraced homes to larger family properties.
Current asking rents indicate that some two-bedroom houses are available at approximately £1,050 to £1,150 per calendar month, while three-bedroom properties can commonly be found around £1,100 to £1,400 per calendar month, depending on condition, location and specification.
These are indicative asking rents rather than guaranteed achievable figures, and the market can change quickly.
Landlords should assess recent comparable properties when setting a rental price rather than relying on a postcode-wide average.
What landlords should consider
B77’s comparatively accessible purchase prices and rental market may make parts of the postcode worth considering for landlords, but investment performance varies significantly between individual properties.
Gross rental yield depends on both purchase price and achievable rent. Landlords also need to account for mortgage costs, maintenance, insurance, management fees, taxation and potential periods without a tenant.
Rental income, occupancy levels and future capital growth cannot be guaranteed.
Energy efficiency is another consideration. Current private rented sector rules generally require qualifying properties to meet at least EPC E, unless an exemption applies.
The government is moving towards higher energy-efficiency standards for privately rented homes, with relevant properties expected to meet the new standard by 1 October 2030, subject to the applicable rules and exemptions.
Owners considering a purchase should therefore examine the EPC and potential improvement costs as part of their due diligence.

Glascote is an established residential neighbourhood with a mixture of terraced and semi-detached properties.
Its location provides access to Tamworth town centre and surrounding amenities, while relatively accessible property prices can make it worth considering for first-time buyers and other purchasers.
Wilnecote
Wilnecote is particularly well positioned for road connections, with convenient access towards the A5.
The area includes established housing alongside more recent development and offers local shops, services and schools.
Dosthill
Dosthill has a more village-like residential character and includes a mixture of traditional and modern properties.
It provides access to local amenities while remaining within easy reach of Tamworth’s wider shopping, leisure and transport facilities.
Two Gates
Two Gates sits towards the southern part of B77 and offers a mixture of residential property alongside useful road connections.
Its location provides straightforward access towards the A5, Wilnecote and other parts of Tamworth.
Transport and connectivity
Tamworth’s transport connections are an important advantage for B77 residents.
Tamworth railway station sits on major rail routes and provides services towards Birmingham and London as well as destinations elsewhere in the country.
Some direct journeys to Birmingham New Street take around 20 minutes, although journey times vary by service.
Road connections are also convenient. The A5 provides an important east-west route close to B77, while Junction 10 of the M42 connects Tamworth with Birmingham and the wider motorway network.
This combination makes B77 worth considering for people who need access to employment centres elsewhere in the Midlands while preferring to live outside Birmingham itself.
Schools and education
Families considering B77 have access to a range of schools within Tamworth, but school location and admissions arrangements should always be checked carefully.
Landau Forte Academy, Amington, located in B77, is one of the secondary options within the postcode.
Other schools elsewhere in Tamworth may also be accessible depending on the family’s address and individual admission arrangements.
Thomas Barnes Primary School is located in Hopwas in B78, rather than B77, while Coton Green Primary School is elsewhere in Tamworth and received Good judgements across the inspected areas in its September 2024 Ofsted inspection.
Families buying or renting with a particular school in mind should check current admissions criteria directly with the relevant school or local authority before making a property decision.
Shopping, dining and everyday life
B77 residents are within easy reach of Tamworth’s major shopping areas.
Ventura Retail Park provides a wide selection of major retailers, supermarkets, restaurants and other services, while Tamworth town centre offers additional shopping and leisure facilities.
Tamworth has also benefited from the £21.65 million Future High Streets Fund regeneration programme.
Major works associated with the programme were reported as completed in December 2025, delivering improvements and new facilities within the town centre.
These projects contribute to Tamworth’s wider amenities and public realm, although regeneration should not be treated as a guarantee of future property-price or rental growth in B77.
Parks, green spaces and leisure
Tamworth provides a varied selection of outdoor and leisure attractions.
Tamworth Castle Grounds offer riverside green space for walking, recreation and family activities, while the wider Tame Valley provides additional opportunities to enjoy the outdoors.
The SnowDome is one of Tamworth’s best-known leisure attractions, offering indoor skiing, snowboarding and other activities.
Drayton Manor Resort, situated outside B77, is also within convenient travelling distance and remains one of the area’s major family attractions.
Who is B77 ideal for?

Terraced and semi-detached properties provide different entry points into the market, with recent B77 sold-price data remaining below some neighbouring areas.
Families
B77 offers a broad selection of family housing, from established semi-detached homes to properties within newer developments.
Families should consider individual school admission arrangements, transport needs and proximity to amenities when choosing between neighbourhoods.
Tenants
Tenants can find a range of houses across Amington, Glascote, Wilnecote, Dosthill and other parts of B77, with rental values varying according to individual property characteristics.
Landlords
B77 may offer opportunities for landlords because of its mixture of property types and comparatively accessible purchase prices.
However, potential yield and investment performance should be calculated for the individual property rather than assumed from postcode-wide figures.
Sellers
Recent transactions demonstrate an active B77 sales market, but achieving the right price depends on realistic positioning against comparable homes currently available and recently sold.
Development in and around B77
Amington Garden Village remains one of the most significant residential developments associated with B77.
The project is adding new housing and infrastructure over a number of phases, expanding the range of modern properties available around Amington.
Development has also previously taken place around Dunstall Farm, while proposals concerning further land in the wider area should be distinguished from homes that have already been completed.
Meanwhile, completed and continuing improvements around Tamworth town centre are changing parts of the wider town.
These projects may influence how Tamworth develops over the longer term, but their effect on individual B77 property prices, rents or investment returns cannot be predicted with certainty.
