This ground-floor, two-bedroom maisonette on Castle View Road offers an affordable, low-maintenance starter home or buy-to-let in a well-connected Bilston neighbourhood. The layout is conventional and practical: a front lounge with bay window, two modest bedrooms, a compact kitchen and a fitted shower room. Double glazing, gas central heating and a low annual service charge keep ongoing costs down.
Transport and local amenities are the property’s strongest assets. Bradley Lane Metro and nearby rail links give direct access to Wolverhampton and Birmingham, while the Black Country Route and M6 are within easy reach for drivers. Local shops, Bilston town centre, several primary schools (including an Outstanding-rated Catholic school) and green spaces sit close by, making everyday life straightforward.
Be clear about material issues: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining and additional leasehold/legal fees may apply. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with a higher-than-average crime rate, which may affect resale or rental demand. The plot is small with no substantial garden, and the building dates from the post‑war period (c.1950–66) — cavity walls are likely uninsulated. Despite these drawbacks, the property presents a low-cost entry into the market or a straightforward rental opportunity for buyers who prioritise transport links and low running costs.
