Partially renovated three-bed semi with garden and parking — plenty of scope to add value.
3 bedrooms with bay-fronted main bedroom and period features
Open-plan rear reception/kitchen that opens onto the garden
Decent rear garden and off-street parking for small vehicles
Freehold tenure; Council Tax Band B (relatively low)
Requires renovation: kitchen, heating, insulation and cosmetic works
Heating: electric room heaters and electric boiler — higher running costs
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; EPC G noted
Third bedroom is very small — suitable as nursery or office
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Witley Avenue is a sensible entry-level purchase for first-time buyers willing to complete the renovation journey. The house already has partial works done, leaving scope to create an efficient, comfortable layout with modern finishes while retaining period character such as a bay window and stained-glass porch detail.
The ground floor feels spacious with two reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen/rear reception that opens onto a decent rear garden — useful for children or low-maintenance outdoor entertaining. Off-street parking is provided on a stone-chipped driveway; the plot depth and garden give practical outside space unlikely in many new-builds at this price band.
Buyers should be clear about outstanding work and running costs: the property currently relies on electric room heaters, has a mains electric boiler and solid-brick walls likely without insulation, and an EPC rating of G is noted. The house needs renovation throughout (kitchen, heating, insulation and likely cosmetic finishes), and the third bedroom is small — better suited as a nursery, home office or storage.
For a first-time buyer prepared to invest time and budget, this freehold semi offers real potential to add value through improved heating, insulation and updated services. Its convenient location near Stourbridge Road, good local schools and fast broadband make it a practical long-term home once modernised.
