Summary - Follyhouse Lane, Walsall WS1 3EL
3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Three-bedroom end-terrace with strong rental potential close to top schools.
Freehold Victorian end-terrace, three bedrooms, two receptions, veranda
Sold via modern-method auction; undisclosed reserve and buyer fees apply
Needs full modernisation; cosmetic and energy-efficiency works likely required
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated — insulation costs probable
Small footprint ~688 sq ft; modest room sizes and small garden
Good digital connectivity: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
Local area: very deprived with above-average crime — factor market risk
Close to several well-rated schools; convenient for family rentals
Offered for sale by modern auction, this three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace presents clear upside for investors or hands-on buyers. The house is freehold, conveniently placed for several well-rated schools, and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make it suitable for rental demand or family use.
The property requires renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, energy-efficiency improvements (solid brick walls likely uninsulated) and general modernisation. The internal layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, veranda, shower room, separate WC and small front and rear gardens. At about 688 sq ft, rooms are modestly sized but retain period features such as bay windows and fireplaces that could be refreshed to add value.
Buyers should note this is a modern-method auction sale. A non-refundable reservation fee (percentage-based) and additional buyer fees apply; there is an undisclosed reserve price and completion is required within the auction timescale. The area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime, so purchasers should factor local market conditions into cost and rental projections.
For investors the combination of low council tax, good digital connectivity and proximity to schools can support steady demand after refurbishment. For owner-occupiers seeking a project, this offers scope to create a modern family home close to local amenities — but be prepared for renovation and budget for energy upgrades and general works.
