This two-bedroom maisonette in Redditch, located on Rectory Road in Headless Cross, presents a mixed bag for potential buyers. The property’s location is a strong point, with easy access to local amenities, good schools (St Luke’s Cofe First School, Walkwood Church of England Middle School, and The Vaynor First School are all relatively close), and train links to Redditch and beyond. The proximity to several ‘Good’ Ofsted-rated schools is particularly noteworthy. However, the lack of garden space will likely be a major drawback for families or those seeking outdoor space.

In terms of condition, the property appears habitable but needs modernisation. The interiors, as shown in the photographs, appear dated and could benefit from renovation and updating. There are some visible areas that might need minor repairs or refurbishment. The kitchen and bathroom specifically could benefit from updating, as they look relatively worn compared to more contemporary standards.

Regarding price, the listing price of £135,000 sits in the mid-range for similar properties in the Headless Cross area. Further data on average price per square foot would strengthen this assessment. However, given the dated condition, the lack of outdoor space, and considering similar listed properties, the price isn’t unrealistic. The property would likely attract first-time buyers or investors who are comfortable undertaking renovations or those prioritising location and transport links over other factors. Overall, it represents a viable option for buyers with specific priorities and budget but may not suit everyone.

Therefore, we give this property 5 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
