Description

This traditional semi-detached house presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a property that requires full modernisation and refurbishment. Nestled in a highly sought-after location, the home benefits from excellent public transport links, with Hurst Green Road and Merrivale Road providing access to local areas, Blackheath, and Halesowen. Rowley Regis Railway Station is just a mile away, offering direct connections to Birmingham City Centre and beyond. Set within a quiet cul-de-sac off Roundhills Road, the property features a brick construction under a well-pitched roof, set back from the roadside behind a foregarden with a lawn area and mature shrubs. The entrance leads into a reception hall with a central heating radiator and access to the lounge, kitchen, and dining room. The lounge features a tiled fireplace with a gas fire, while the kitchen is equipped with basic fittings and plumbing for appliances. The first floor hosts three bedrooms, each with varying dimensions and natural light. The bathroom includes an original enamel bath and an electric shower, alongside a separate WC. Outside, the rear garden offers potential for landscaping improvements, with a paved area and mature trees. This property is offered at auction, making it an appealing prospect for investors or those looking to create their dream home through refurbishment.

Confidence: LOW

This semi-detached property presents an exciting renovation opportunity in a sought-after location. While the interiors show signs of significant wear and require extensive modernisation throughout, this gives you a blank canvas to design a space that meets contemporary standards. The dated kitchen and bathroom are particularly ripe for transformation, allowing for an upgraded layout that can enhance both functionality and appeal.

With a guide price of £230,000, the absence of usable floor area data means we cannot yet assess its value against local £/sqf averages. However, the asking price is positioned as a low entry point for a project of this scale. The potential to create a vibrant home in a quiet cul-de-sac with good transport links to Birmingham City Centre adds to the property's allure, making it a worthwhile consideration for the right buyer willing to invest in a full refurb.

Key opportunities

  • Transform the dated kitchen and bathroom into modern, functional spaces that enhance the home's appeal.
  • Reconfigure the layout to optimise space and improve flow throughout the living areas.
  • Utilise the good transport links and quiet cul-de-sac location to create a desirable family home.

Key risks

  • Extensive refurbishment required throughout the property, with significant works expected to modernise the interiors and possibly a budget of £100,000–£150,000.
