Set on a popular residential road in Four Ashes, this 1930s bay-fronted semi-detached house is a substantial refurbishment project with real family potential. The property offers generous front, side and rear gardens plus a long driveway and large attached garage — ideal for vehicle storage or a workshop. Internally the traditional layout provides a lounge, dining room, kitchen, ground-floor WC, three bedrooms and a single bathroom.
The home requires full updating throughout: cosmetic and systems work will be needed, and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators and double glazing was installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are slow in the area. Buyers should budget for renovation and energy-efficiency improvements.
A notable upside is space and scope: the plot is large and there is potential for a substantial side and rear extension subject to planning (STPP). The location offers easy access to the M6/M54 and nearby towns, good local schools and a quiet town-fringe setting — factors that will appeal to growing families or buyers seeking a value-add project. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale and possibilities.
Chain free and available now, this property suits an owner-occupier family wanting to create a long-term home, or an experienced investor willing to carry renovation works. Be aware of the single bathroom, dated fittings and likely need for insulation and heating upgrades when calculating costs.
