3 bed semi-detached house for sale

Collis Street, Amblecote, Stourbridge, West Midlands DY8

** guide price £250,000 - £260,000**
Four hundred years of glassmaking history around the corner, and a family home that’s been modernised with love.

Tucked into a friendly road in Amblecote, in the heart of Stourbridge’s historic Glass Quarter, this semi-detached home has been refurbished with real care by its current owner. Inside, an open-plan lounge and dining area sits alongside a shaker-style kitchen, with a bright entrance hall at the front that doubles as a study. Outside, a tandem driveway and garage sit behind raised front lawns, while the back garden climbs in tiers from a paved patio to a lawn at the top.

We asked them what made them buy it...

“It’s a fantastic neighbourhood, with everyone looking out for each other. Fantastic neighbours all round. The location is central for most things, and the schools were an important part of our decision. What i’ve never stopped loving is the feeling of warmth this home brings to a family, and the amazing neighbours.”

What about the house itself?

“I felt a warmth as soon as I entered the property, and it was really clean and looked after. The rooms were all equally sized, with a large open lounge and diner, and that spacious feeling downstairs. It had a lot of potential. We did a full renovation to make it a modern family home, opening up some rooms to allow more space, such as the bathroom. The large front windows make it a really open, spacious feature and a lovely office area. In summer it’s open and cool, with the doors open to let the breeze through and sun coming through the large front windows. In winter it’s warm and cosy. The garden has different layers: The lower patio is beautiful for either shade or sun, and the top garden grass area looks over the house.”

Our agents say...

Step through the front door and the first thing you notice is the light. The angled glazing across the entrance hall makes it a lovely spot for a desk, so working from home comes with a view out to the front rather than a spare room wall. There’s a large store cupboard here too, for coats, shoes and everything else that needs a home.

The lounge and dining area run together as one open space, with panelling adding character to the lounge and a window looking out over the garden. The shaker-style kitchen sits just off the dining area, with an integrated fridge freezer, oven and gas hob, and a side door straight out to the garden. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, two with fitted wardrobes, and a modern refitted shower room.

The owner’s list of upgrades is a long one: A new kitchen and shower room, new flooring and internal doors throughout, new large front windows, a new front door and garage door, new flat roofs and fascias, and new featheredge fencing running down the left-hand side of the garden.

And then there’s the garden. From the paved patio, steps climb through curving stone-walled beds of white gravel, Japanese acers and mature shrubs, up to a lawn at the top. Come autumn, the acers put on a show of reds and golds. Side access takes the bins round to the front without any fuss. At the front, raised lawns frame a tandem driveway for two to three cars, and the garage offers scope for conversion, subject to planning and any necessary consents.

Amblecote is steeped in glassmaking history, with the Red House Glass Cone and Stourbridge Glass Museum in nearby Wordsley. Wollaston village has its pubs and restaurants, Stourbridge town centre has everything for the weekly shop and more, and Merry Hill is close by for bigger trips. For families, Amblecote Primary School is nearby, with Ridgewood High School in Wollaston and Redhill School in Stourbridge also in the area.
