Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Oldbury, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical family living with no upward chain and freehold tenure. The layout includes a generous lounge, kitchen/dining room, two shower rooms and a private rear garden — useful for families or investors seeking rental income. The block‑paved driveway provides off‑street parking for several cars.
Constructed in the mid‑20th century with solid brick walls and original double glazing (pre‑2002), the house is broadly sound but shows scope for improvement. The property currently has an EPC rating of D and walls likely lack cavity insulation, so buyers should allow for energy‑efficiency upgrades. Rooms are modest in scale (total c.758 sq ft), so it suits households wanting cosy, manageable accommodation rather than large open‑plan living.
Location advantages include good broadband and mobile signal, nearby schools (mix of Good and Outstanding ratings), local shops and transport links into Birmingham. Note the local area is classified as deprived with above‑average crime statistics; prospective buyers should review local data and feel the neighbourhood at different times of day.
This home suits a range of buyers: families seeking a practical three‑bed with garden, first‑time buyers wanting a manageable freehold property, or investors targeting a family rental in an established residential area. Value is in the parking, garden and extension potential under permitted development, balanced against required energy and cosmetic improvements.
