This three-bedroom semi-detached freehold at 7 School Road, Quarry Bank, is offered at auction and presents clear investment potential for a buyer happy to carry out remedial works. The property has been significantly refurbished internally with a modern kitchen, utility room and two contemporary shower/bath suites, but it still requires further renovation and investigation of visible structural cracking. Council Tax Band A and a modest EPC E reflect low running costs but signal scope for efficiency upgrades.
Accommodation is compact yet practical across two storeys: a dual-aspect reception room, modern kitchen with garden access, separate utility, and three bedrooms (two doubles and a single). The layout suits a small family or a rental let; broadband speeds are fast and there are nearby primary schools rated Good—useful for tenant demand. The plot is small with a private rear garden backing onto mature trees and a forecourt/drive providing off-street parking.
Important negatives are stated plainly: there is significant cracking in one bedroom, the kitchen and parts of the exterior with no confirmed cause, and the property is in an area of higher crime and general deprivation. External walls are original solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and the house requires renovation works to address finishing, landscaping and any structural issues discovered by a surveyor.
For an investor or buyer willing to manage repairs, the property’s location near Merry Hill, good transport links and local amenities supports lettability or resale after works. Prospective purchasers should commission independent structural and building surveys and factor auction timelines and renovation costs into any offer.
