This property is a 2 bedroom terraced house located on Lower Forster Street in Walsall. The property benefits from being close to several primary and secondary schools, including Queen Mary’s High School (Outstanding Ofsted rating) and Butts Primary School (Good Ofsted rating), both within a 0.5km radius. Walsall train station is also conveniently located approximately 0.8km away, providing good transport links.

The property itself appears to be in reasonable condition, although some modernisation may be desirable. The kitchen and bathroom show some signs of age, and while functional, an update would enhance the overall appeal. The internal photos suggest the property is habitable but could benefit from some cosmetic improvements. The external appearance is typical of a terraced property in the area, presented in a tidy manner.

The property includes a small yard/patio area to the rear, offering some external space, although it’s not extensive. The lack of significant garden space is a notable feature.

Considering the average price per square foot in the area is £252, and this property is listed at £169,950 with 720 sqft, the price per sqft is approximately £236. While this is below the average for the area, the condition of the property and the limited land size should be considered when assessing value. The lower price may reflect the need for some modernisation. Nearby comparable properties range from £97,000 to £155,000, suggesting the list price is at the higher end of the range for similar properties in the immediate vicinity.

Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
