This mid-terrace period cottage sits a five-minute walk from Alcester High Street, offering immediate access to shops, cafés and transport links. The house retains original character—beamed ceilings and a bold red door—while presenting a clear opportunity for someone prepared to update and modernise. At 769 sq ft and offered freehold, it’s sized and priced for first-time buyers seeking a central town base.
Ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall, open-plan living/dining room and a compact kitchen that looks over the courtyard garden. The rear courtyard has an open outlook over the town allotments and three useful out-houses (one with WC, one plumbed for a washer) that could serve as workshop, home office or storage. Two bedrooms and a family bathroom are arranged on the first floor.
Important practical points: the property requires renovation and some maintenance, ceilings are relatively low and the original solid brick walls are unlikely to have built-in insulation. Services are conventional (mains gas central heating, boiler and radiators) and broadband and mobile signal are excellent. Flooding risk is low and council tax is affordable.
For a buyer willing to invest time and money, the cottage offers characterful living in a very convenient location and clear scope to improve value through refurbishment, better insulation and layout tweaks. The small courtyard garden and out-houses provide useful flexible space without a large maintenance burden.
