Description
This three-bedroom home in Kidderminster is offered with no onward chain and requires comprehensive updating. The ground floor includes a long living room with a fireplace and exposed beams, alongside a garden room connecting the reception space to the rear garden. The kitchen is generously sized, with windows to the side and rear and scope to modernise and reconsider its layout.
Upstairs are three independently accessed bedrooms and a bathroom fitted with a bath, basin and WC. The rear garden needs clearance and landscaping. On-street parking is available, and the frontage may offer scope for a driveway, subject to verification. The property is in an established residential area with access to local amenities, schools and transport links. Mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are stated, and ultrafast broadband is available according to the listing.

70out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity
Confidence: MEDIUM
At £140,000, this three-bedroom semi-detached is priced well below the local average per square foot, making the asking price a clear acquisition opportunity. The long reception room, with its exposed beams and fireplace, gives the project a distinctive starting point, while the stated three-bedroom layout and garden room offer scope to rethink how the space works.
This is a substantial renovation rather than a cosmetic update: several rooms have worn or unfinished finishes, the kitchen and bathroom are dated, and the rear garden needs clearance. The garden-room structure also needs inspection to establish whether it can be repaired or should be replaced. The £42,000–£75,000 renovation range reflects a significant programme, though the visible roof shows no obvious major failure. The engine’s £198,500 purchase-plus-midpoint-works figure is below its implied current local average value, but that comparison is not a renovated GDV and excludes fees and stamp duty.
Key opportunities
- The long reception room, exposed beams and fireplace provide character and scope to create distinct living and dining areas.
- The three-bedroom arrangement and garden room offer a useful base for improving the layout and connection to the garden.
- The overgrown rear garden can be cleared and landscaped, while the frontage offers potential to improve practical parking provision.
Key risks
- Worn and exposed floorboards include apparent damage or gaps, and several rooms need wall and floor renewal; inspect and budget for repairs as finishes are stripped back.
- The £42,000–£75,000 works range makes this a full-scale renovation programme, not a cosmetic refresh, with the garden-room structure’s repair or replacement scope still to establish.
