A two-bedroom mid-terrace with two reception rooms and 883 sq ft of living space, offered freehold. The house has double glazing, mains gas central heating and both a downstairs shower room plus a first-floor family bathroom. Its size and layout suit a first-time buyer or small family seeking affordable entry in a well-connected area.
The property requires updating and cosmetic refurbishment throughout; built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation, so thermal improvements and an EPC upgrade will be needed. The interior is described as a fixer-upper with standard ceiling heights and small room sizes; this creates scope to add value but will need investment.
Location is practical: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and close to multiple schools, supermarkets and train links (Langley Green, Sandwell & Dudley, Smethwick Galton Bridge). Outside space is a small rear garden suitable for low-maintenance use.
Important considerations: the neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with very high recorded crime levels — buyers should factor in local safety and security measures. Council tax is very low (Band A), and the property presents potential for renovation or rental income for investors prepared to manage the area’s challenges.
