A practical two-bedroom mid-terrace offering clear value for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward West Midlands purchase. The property features a through reception, separate kitchen with utility and a small store/study — useful extra space often missing at this price point. Outside there is a tiered rear garden with patio, lawn and a garage accessed via a shared right of way.
The house has some ready-made strengths: freehold tenure, double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas central heating and very cheap council tax (Band A). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the home suitable for modern working-from-home routines or reliable lettings. There is no flooding risk for the location.
Practical drawbacks are clear and should be considered: the property needs internal modernisation and cosmetic updating, and the construction is system-built with external insulation — buyers should check mortgage suitability and commission a survey. The local area is very deprived and recorded crime is above average, which will influence resale or rental appeal and should be factored into valuation.
Overall, this is a modest, economical home that rewards a buyer willing to refurbish. For a first-time buyer it’s an affordable route onto the ladder; for an investor it presents straightforward rental potential after sensible updating and due diligence on construction and local market conditions.
