A solid three-bedroom mid-terrace in Birch Green offering 970 sq ft of practical living space over two floors. The layout includes a spacious lounge, kitchen/diner, ground-floor cloakroom and a single first-floor bathroom — suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor seeking straightforward accommodation in a well-connected area.
The property is freehold and benefits from a private enclosed rear garden and excellent mobile signal. It sits close to local amenities, bus routes and links to the M58, with several primary and secondary schools nearby, including a highly rated local primary.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: the area records above-average crime and is classified as very deprived; broadband speeds are slow; the home shows dated decor and will need redecoration or light refurbishment. The small plot and modest room sizes limit extension potential without planning work. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
For buyers looking for value, this house presents clear potential to add value through cosmetic updating or to let out in a demand area for budget housing. Buyers should factor in local area challenges and possible improvement costs when considering this purchase.
