Delightfully positioned two-bedroom semi-detached home, benefiting from two bathrooms, a large amount of off-road parking, and a garage to the rear. Situated in a convenient location close to bus transport links and a short walk from local amenities, this property is perfect for first-time buyers...
Property Oracle says ..
The property is located in Calvin Close, Wombourne, Staffordshire, WV5 0DF. Wombourne is a village in South Staffordshire with a generally good reputation. The property’s proximity to several schools, including Cherry Trees School (0.39km), Blakeley Heath Primary School (0.62km), and Wombourne High School (0.82km), is a positive factor for families. However, the Ofsted ratings of these schools vary, with Wombourne High School requiring improvement. More information on the Ofsted reports would be needed for a complete assessment of the schools’ quality.
Based on the provided images, the property appears to be in generally fair condition. While the exterior is presentable, the interior shows its age. The carpets, decor, and kitchen appear dated and could benefit from modernisation. The bathrooms are functional but also dated. There’s no significant evidence of major structural damage, but there is a clear need for some cosmetic improvements and potential updates to kitchen and bathroom fixtures.
The property includes a small, paved rear garden. While not extensive, it does offer some outdoor space.
The list price of £225,000 is slightly below the average price for the area (£367,220), but significantly lower than some nearby properties. Considering the property’s condition, the average price per sqft in the area (£335), and the relatively small plot size, the price seems reasonable, potentially even slightly undervalued if the property is structurally sound and doesn’t require substantial repairs. However, a full structural survey would be advisable to confirm this. The lower price point could reflect the need for modernisation and the smaller than average size (944 sqft compared to the average of 1095 sqft). Nearby comparable properties on Calvin Close range from £155,000 to £264,500, supporting the idea that the list price is in line with the market, although the lack of sqft data for these properties makes precise comparison difficult.
Therefore, we give this property 6 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
