Formal planning permission required before building additional dwelling
This three-bedroom detached house sits on a prominent corner plot in Norton, offering immediate family accommodation and clear development upside. The current layout includes a lounge, fitted dining kitchen, side utility, bathroom with shower, and a detached garage, arranged across roughly 926 sq ft. The property is freehold with gas central heating and mostly double glazing, and an EPC rating of C.
The standout feature is the large side garden: Dudley MBC gave a positive pre-application response for a single additional dwelling, so the plot has realistic development potential subject to formal planning. For families the house functions well as a modest, comfortable home; for investors or developers the site offers a possible building plot to add value.
Internally the property is generally tidy with contemporary touches, but some rooms show signs they would benefit from updating to modern standards. The local area is a white suburban community with good broadband and average local amenities; crime levels are average and there is no flood risk. Note the wider neighbourhood sits in a more deprived area statistically, which may influence resale considerations and lettings.
Practical positives include off-street parking and a garage, mains gas heating and fast broadband. Material considerations: further planning approval is required to build, parts of the home will need modernisation, and the area’s deprivation ranking may affect long-term capital growth. Viewing will confirm room sizes and the full extent of the garden and plot potential.
