Double-fronted Edwardian detached house with period features
This double-fronted Edwardian detached house combines period character with spacious family living close to Cradley Heath transport links. The hall’s original tiled floor, leaded and stained glass windows, and two reception rooms give the home a traditional feel while the large breakfast kitchen opens to the garden and provides everyday family space.
Practical features include off-street drive parking, PVC double glazing, gas central heating and two bathrooms (ground-floor bathroom and an upstairs shower room). Broadband and mobile coverage are good, and all main services are connected. The property is freehold with an affordable Council Tax Band C and no significant flood risk.
Notable considerations: the house sits in a very deprived area with a recorded very high crime level, which will be important for buyers to assess. The solid brick walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation and the EPC rating is E, so energy efficiency improvements may be needed. The plot is modest in size, and while the interior is largely liveable, the property offers clear scope for updating and refurbishment to improve comfort and running costs.
This home will suit a buyer seeking period features, generous indoor space and excellent access to local schools, shops and transport—someone prepared to carry out energy and cosmetic improvements to personalise the property and reduce bills.
