Summary - 48 ESSEX STREET WALSALL WS2 7AS
2 bed 2 bath Terraced
Affordable starter or buy-to-let near transport links and schools.
Two double bedrooms with first-floor family bathroom
This well-presented two-bedroom terraced house offers a straightforward move-in option or rental buy in WS2. The home keeps original period character with feature fireplaces and bay window, while practical updates include double glazing and mains gas central heating. The ground floor layout includes a fitted dining kitchen with integrated appliances and a handy guest WC/utility, with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs.
The property sits on a small, low-maintenance frontage and rear garden, which is easy to manage for first-time owners or landlords. It is close to local bus routes, shops, schools and the M6 (J10), making commuting and day-to-day life convenient. Nearby schools include two rated Good primaries and an Outstanding secondary.
Notable practical points are the modest overall size (approximately 873 sq ft) and terrace location with limited on-street parking. The area scores high for crime and is very deprived, which will affect long-term rental demand and resale considerations. The property is freehold with very low council tax, and the solid-brick construction likely lacks wall insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements into budgets.
Overall this home suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, characterful starter home or an investor after a lettable, low-upkeep terrace. It presents clear potential but also requires awareness of location-based risks and possible retrofit costs to improve insulation and efficiency.
