Description

This distinctive 1930s detached family residence presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment, situated in one of Norton’s most desirable areas. The home is set against the backdrop of Norton Covert, a cherished woodland offering serene walking trails and abundant wildlife, making it a perfect locale for families and outdoor enthusiasts seeking tranquility just moments from urban amenities. The property boasts significant curb appeal, framed by well-maintained lawns and colorful flower borders at both the front and back. A spacious driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by a substantial garage and an additional space suitable for motorbike storage or utility purposes. Inside, the home features classic architectural elements typical of its era, including bay windows that enhance natural light throughout the living spaces and original timber detailing. The family lounge is anchored by an inglenook-style fireplace, creating a cozy atmosphere while also providing direct access to the picturesque rear gardens. On the ground floor, the formal dining room offers a bright area ideal for gatherings, while the breakfast kitchen with an adjoining pantry presents opportunities for modern refurbishment. The adjacent cloakroom adds functionality to this level. There is notable potential here for updating existing spaces or even extending the property (subject to planning permissions), enabling future owners to personalize it further. Upstairs, the layout includes three generously sized double bedrooms that ensure comfort for family living, alongside a family bathroom and a separate WC. A versatile study or hobby room provides additional utility but could benefit from enhanced lighting solutions. Furthermore, access to a partially boarded loft space opens up possibilities for future development. The gardens surrounding this home create a peaceful retreat with lush lawns and mature planting that bloom seasonally. Previously utilized as a vegetable garden featuring fruit trees, there remains potential to cultivate this area further with thoughtful landscaping or additional planting. The serene front garden mirrors this inviting atmosphere with well-established greenery flanking the entryway. This property stands out not only due to its character and charm but also because of its advantageous location — blending rural serenity with convenient access to local amenities in nearby Stourbridge. It offers investors or renovators alike an exceptional chance to create their ideal family home while benefiting from the area's appeal and growth potential. Please note that this residence will be available with vacant possession upon purchase.
