Broadwaters Drive, Kidderminster, DY10

At £160,000, this two-bedroom semi is priced well below the local average on a £/sqf basis, giving buyers an attractive entry point for a project. The bay-fronted living room has character and a working log fire, while the bathroom already looks relatively current; the dated, worn kitchen and old-fashioned finishes elsewhere offer clear scope to make the interior your own.

The extensive tiered garden could become a standout outdoor space, but its dense overgrowth and obstructed paths mean clearance and assessment will be a substantial part of the work. The loft is described as having potential for a third bedroom, subject to the necessary approvals, and is currently a low-ceilinged storage space. The £30,000–£50,000 renovation range indicates a meaningful project; the engine’s £200,000 purchase-plus-midpoint figure is below its implied current local average value, though that comparison is not a renovated GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.
