This three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian townhouse in Smallwood, Redditch offers straightforward living over three floors and suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors looking for a compact, well-located property. The house combines two reception rooms, a practical kitchen and a rear bathroom, with an additional box room on the top floor. It is freehold and totals roughly 974 sq ft, providing a modest but usable footprint.
The location is the main asset: a short walk to Redditch town centre, supermarkets (including a large Asda nearby), shops, schools and public transport. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which helps with both rental appeal and modern homeworking. Council tax is very cheap and the property has no recorded flood risk.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives. The area records high crime and is in a very deprived local area classification, which may affect resale and rental values. The plot is small with no off-street parking; on-street parking only. Rooms are average to small in size and some ceilings are low, limiting perceived space. The property is sold as a traditional period terrace — expect typical maintenance and updating costs rather than a fully modern finish.
For investors or first-time purchasers this house offers clear potential: easy-to-manage garden, nearby amenities and straightforward layout make it lettable or a home to personalise. However, purchasers should budget for routine period-property upkeep and consider the local area factors when assessing long-term value.
