A beautifully presented three-bedroom mid-terraced home on Central Avenue, Stourbridge, featuring a bright lounge with French doors to a landscaped garden, a well-equipped kitchen, modern bathroom, utility room, and off-road parking. Generously sized bedrooms and thoughtful storage make this home practical and comfortable. Ideally located close to schools, shops, parks, and Stourbridge town centre, it’s perfect for families or first-time buyers seeking a stylish, well-cared-for home in a sought-after area.

Set back from the road, this attractive property is approached via a block-paved driveway providing off-road parking, with steps leading up to the front entrance. The elevated position gives a pleasant outlook, and the neat frontage creates a warm welcome to the home.
Upon entering, a bright and inviting hallway sets the tone for the accommodation and provides access to both the kitchen and the lounge, creating a practical and flowing ground floor layout.

The kitchen, located at the front of the property, offers ample cupboard and worktop space with room for appliances and a small dining table if desired. Functional and well laid out, it’s ideal for everyday use.

To the rear, the comfortable lounge provides a relaxing living space, filled with natural light through French doors that open directly onto the garden patio. This creates a lovely connection between the indoor and outdoor areas, perfect for enjoying the warmer months.
Also on the ground floor is a modern downstairs WC, useful under-stairs storage, and a separate utility room, providing additional practicality for busy households.

Upstairs, the property offers three generously sized double bedrooms, all tastefully presented and filled with natural light. The family bathroom has been stylishly updated to include a modern shower enclosure, complemented by a contemporary wash basin and WC, creating a fresh and inviting space.

Outside, the rear garden has been attractively landscaped for both ease of maintenance and outdoor enjoyment. A paved patio area sits directly outside the French doors—ideal for garden furniture and relaxing, while steps lead up to a raised patio area offering space for additional seating and potted plants. The garden is neatly bordered with gravel and railway sleepers, adding charm and definition. To the rear, there is a shed and greenhouse, perfect for storage or gardening enthusiasts, and a side gate provides convenient access.

Situated on Central Avenue, Stourbridge, this lovely home enjoys a popular and convenient location, close to well-regarded schools, local shops, parks, and transport links. Stourbridge town centre, with its wide range of amenities, restaurants, and train connections, is just a short distance away.

Offering a superb blend of space, comfort, and practicality, this delightful property is ideal for families, first-time buyers, or anyone seeking a well-situated and well-cared-for home in one of Stourbridge’s most established residential areas.
