Set on Spring Street in Cannock, this two-bedroom Victorian semi blends period character with practical modern updates. The house offers two reception rooms, a contemporary fitted kitchen, and a useful loft room with Velux windows — ideal for a home office or occasional guest space. Its freehold tenure and very cheap council tax keep running costs low.
The rear garden is a manageable size with lawn, two slabbed seating areas and outbuildings for storage; the small plot suits buyers wanting low-maintenance outdoor space rather than extensive grounds. Good commuting links and proximity to shops, supermarkets and local schools make this a convenient base for first-time buyers or busy professionals.
Be upfront about location-related issues: the property is in a deprived area with very high local crime rates, which may affect suitability for some buyers and could influence insurance or resale. Internally the layout is largely ready to live in, but buyers wanting more living space or a full modern finish should factor potential renovations or loft conversion work (headroom may be limited) into their budget.
Overall, this home offers solid value for a buyer seeking character, low ongoing costs and easy access to transport and local amenities, provided they accept the trade-offs of plot size and neighbourhood conditions.
