5 Openfield Croft is a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Water Orton, Birmingham, Birmingham (B46 1RE). It has a recorded floor area of 84 m² (around 904 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1967-1975 and council tax band C.

Held since July 1998 — that's 28 years off the open market, well above the local norm.
