This extended 1930s semi-detached home on a quiet cul-de-sac offers comfortable, character-filled living with practical outdoor space. The property’s bay windows, two reception rooms and extended country-style kitchen create bright, versatile accommodation for small families or first-time buyers. A driveway provides convenient off-street parking and the mature rear garden and powered workshop add notable utility and privacy.
There is straightforward potential to increase living space: a boarded loft with a Velux window could be converted into a third bedroom or home office (subject to necessary permissions). Built-in bespoke storage and a useful workshop reduce immediate storage pressures and support hobbies or home working.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property’s solid brick walls are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, so upgrading thermal efficiency will be needed. There is a single bathroom and the home shows typical features of its era that may require updating. The area has medium flood risk and above-average local crime levels, which prospective purchasers should factor into insurance and safety planning.
Location is a strong selling point for commuters, with easy access to the A5, M6 Toll and M54 and nearby rail links. Local schools, shops and the Cannock designer outlet are close by, making this house a practical, characterful choice for first-time buyers or those downsizing who want a manageable home with renovation potential.
