This three-bedroom Victorian terrace on Lightwoods Road offers generous room sizes across three floors and a large loft bedroom — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking space and future value. The property is chain-free and has two reception rooms, a rear garden with side access, and period features such as bay windows and a fireplace. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit modern working-from-home needs.
The house needs updating and refurbishment: parts are dated, some windows are single glazed, and the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation. The EPC rating is E and the property may require modernisation to improve energy efficiency and comfort. Roof, wiring and heating appear functional (mains gas boiler and radiators) but should be surveyed as part of any purchase.
Location is a clear strength: Lightwoods Park and Warley Woods are on the doorstep, several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby, and local shops and transport links are within walking distance. Note the immediate area has very high crime levels and wider indicators of deprivation, which may affect resale and rental demand.
For buyers willing to invest in renovations this home presents good upside: its size (about 1,284 sq ft), three bedrooms plus loft, period character and freehold tenure create scope to lift value. For cautious buyers, budget for refurbishment, insulation and potential decoration when considering overall costs.
