Description
This three-bedroom semi-detached house has a traditional two-storey layout with two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a utility room with WC. The ground floor also includes an entrance hall, an understairs pantry and access to a larger-than-average garage. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, a third bedroom and a family bathroom.
The property requires modernisation throughout, offering scope to update the accommodation to suit its next owner. It has gas central heating, part double glazing and a private rear garden. The garage provides storage space and may have other uses, subject to any necessary permissions.
Situated in the Penn area of Wolverhampton, the house is within reach of shops on Penn Road and Warstones Road, supermarkets, local schools and Wolverhampton city centre. The A449 and M54 provide road links across the wider West Midlands.

46out of 100
Grade ELow opportunity
Confidence: LOW
This three-bedroom semi in Penn has a generous traditional layout, with separate sitting and dining rooms, large bedrooms, a utility room and WC, pantry, garage and private rear garden. The photographed interiors are consistently tired, with worn floors and finishes, and the kitchen and wet rooms call for substantial updating; that gives a buyer scope to reshape and refresh a spacious family home. The roof and front elevation look intact in the available view, while cracking and discolouration on the kitchen wall warrant investigation.
At £260,000, the value position cannot yet be judged against local £/sqf because the floor area is missing. The overall score is E: the house has useful space and a clear improvement canvas, but the price/value and economics components remain unassessed rather than establishing a strong opportunity.
Key opportunities
- Use the separate sitting and dining rooms, generous bedrooms and traditional proportions to create a tailored family home while retaining the distinct living and entertaining layout.
- The dated kitchen and wet-room finishes offer scope for a coordinated interior update, with worn timber floors and wall finishes also presenting opportunities to refresh or restore character.
- Make the most of the larger-than-average garage, utility space and private rear garden as practical features of the property; the drive and garden could also be improved over time.
Key risks
- The consistently worn interiors, kitchen and wet-room finishes make this a substantial multi-room programme rather than a cosmetic refresh; allow for a coordinated full-house schedule and budget.
- Cracking and discolouration on the kitchen wall should be investigated to establish the cause and any remedial work required.
