This two-bedroom mid-20th-century terrace on Roewood Close is a clear blank canvas for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to modernise. Offering 72.2 sq. metres (approx. 776 sq ft) over two floors, the layout includes a long lounge/diner, separate kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom, and separate WC. The property is chain-free and freehold, making transaction timing straightforward.
The house benefits from double glazing, gas central heating with a Worcester boiler, and sensible room proportions. Practical extras include built-in wardrobes, an airing cupboard with loft access, and a rear patio. Local services are good: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, low crime rates and nearby good primary and secondary schools. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low.
Important considerations: the property requires complete modernisation — photos and description note damp, mould and an unkempt garden, and internal fixtures appear dated. The building is believed to be steel framed, which can affect renovation approaches and survey requirements. Appliances and services have not been tested; EPC rating is to be confirmed.
For the right buyer this is an affordable opportunity to add value. A pragmatic renovation would update finishes, address damp risks, and improve thermal efficiency to secure a comfortable family home or a rental with solid demand in the area.
