This Edwardian semi offers a compact, practical home for first-time buyers or investors looking for a two-bedroom property in Dudley. The house has been maintained by the current owners and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and an extension to the rear that increases usable space. A loft room provides useful storage and a small rear garden offers outdoor space.
Internally the layout provides two reception rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom on the ground and first floors, with room sizes typical for early 20th-century terraces. The property is presented in fair condition but would benefit from cosmetic updating and modernisation to maximise comfort and resale or rental value. Buyers should note solid brick walls (likely without insulation) and dated fixtures that may be refurbished.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house is freehold, council tax is described as cheap, and there is excellent mobile signal and average broadband speeds. Planning permission and building regulations documentation exist for previous works, but buyers are advised to confirm these with their conveyancer and check any outstanding requirements.
Local convenience is a strength—schools, shops and bus connections are close by—however the area records higher-than-average crime and local deprivation, which will affect desirability and certain buyer groups. Overall this is an affordable entry-level property with clear potential for improvement.
