Set on Birch Avenue in Longford, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is offered freehold and chain-free, making for a straightforward purchase. The layout includes separate lounge and dining rooms, a ground-floor WC and a first-floor family shower room — practical spaces for everyday family life. Double glazing and a mains gas boiler provide basic thermal comfort, while the solid brick construction with external insulation adds long-term fabric value.
The property needs decorative renovation and presents a clear project for buyers who want to add value through updating the kitchen, finishes and landscaping. There’s scope to create off-road parking in the generous front garden (subject to planning permission), and the average-sized rear garden offers private outdoor space for children or entertaining. A detached garage provides extra storage or workshop potential.
Location is a strong point: local schools, shops and bus links are within easy reach, and broadband and mobile signal are good. The area has some social challenges — recorded local crime is higher than average — so buyers should weigh that against the low council tax and reasonable long-term value in this established Cannock neighbourhood. Early inspection is recommended to judge scope and costs for renovation.
