Windmill Lane, Castlecroft, Wolverhampton WV3

50A Windmill Lane, Castlecroft
Offers in the Region of £360,000
SLADE Property Collective are pleased to present 50A Windmill Lane, a detached bungalow occupying a substantial plot in a particularly leafy and established part of Castlecroft.

Set back from Windmill Lane and approached via a semi-private driveway, the property sits within a small and exclusive collection of detached homes, with just three other detached properties sharing the access.

The position is a real feature. Tucked away from the main road, the bungalow enjoys a quiet setting with gardens wrapping around the property and a generous amount of outside space.

Internally, the property provides approximately 952 sq ft of accommodation, offering three bedrooms, a generous lounge, conservatory, kitchen/diner, bathroom and additional WC, together with a versatile dining room/third bedroom.

The plot is substantial and offers further potential, with the possibility of exploring additional development within the grounds, subject to the necessary planning permission and approvals from the local authority.

Entrance Hallway
Access into the property is via the front door, opening directly into the central entrance hallway.

The hallway provides access to the principal accommodation and creates a natural flow through the bungalow. There is carpeted flooring, with doors leading through to the kitchen/diner, bedrooms, bathroom, lounge and additional WC.

There is also an airing cupboard positioned off the hallway, which houses the property's hot water cylinder. The property benefits from solar hot water and gas central heating with radiators throughout.

Guest Cloakroom
Positioned directly off the hallway is a useful guest cloakroom, comprising a WC and wash hand basin.

Kitchen/Diner
Continuing through the hallway, the kitchen/diner sits towards the front/right-hand side of the property, overlooking the front garden.

The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor-mounted units, together with a stainless steel sink and mixer tap. There is space for a gas cooker, washing machine and under-counter fridge, as well as space for an American-style fridge freezer.

There is vinyl flooring and a window overlooking the front garden.

The kitchen has good scope to redesign the space around the requirements of the next owner.

Dining Room / Bedroom Three
From the kitchen, you can access the property's versatile third room.

Currently being marketed as Bedroom Three, this room would equally work as a dining room, home office, hobby room or additional reception room.

There is also a further door leading directly through into the lounge, making this a particularly flexible part of the bungalow.

This is one of the features we particularly like about the property, as the accommodation can be configured in a number of different ways depending on how the next owner wants to use the space.

Lounge
Returning through to the central part of the property, the lounge is a good-sized principal reception room.

There is a gas fire, with plenty of space for comfortable furniture placement.

The lounge connects with the hall and also provides access through to the conservatory, while a further doorway connects with the versatile dining room/Bedroom Three.

Conservatory
From the lounge, glazed doors lead into the conservatory.

The conservatory has dwarf walls and a Perspex roof, creating an additional reception space overlooking the garden.

Glazed French doors open directly onto the rear garden, making this a useful space from which to enjoy the substantial plot during the warmer months.

Bedroom One
Back through the hallway, Bedroom One is positioned at the rear of the property.

The room benefits from fitted wardrobes and can comfortably accommodate a king-size bed alongside additional bedroom furniture.

Bedroom Two
Bedroom Two is positioned at the front of the property and is another particularly generous double bedroom.

With ample space for a double bed and bedroom furniture, together with a window providing natural light.

Bathroom
The main bathroom is positioned between the bedrooms and comprises a bath, separate shower cubicle with glazed door, WC, pedestal wash hand basin and bidet.

There is a patterned window providing natural light.

Outside
Externally, the property continues to impress in terms of the amount of space it occupies.

The bungalow is approached via a semi-private driveway, shared with three other detached properties. This gives the property a particularly pleasant and exclusive feel, with the bungalow sitting away from the main road.

To the front is a lawned garden, predominantly laid to lawn with a selection of mature shrubs. There is also a driveway providing parking for approximately two vehicles.

The gardens then wrap around the property, creating a substantial plot with good levels of privacy.

The rear garden is particularly generous and well presented, with plenty of scope for further landscaping and enhancement.

Given the size and configuration of the plot, there may also be potential to explore the possibility of additional development within the grounds. Any such proposal would, of course, be entirely subject to planning permission and the necessary approvals from the local authority.

A detached single garage sits alongside the property and is accessed from the front driveway. To the rear of the garage is a useful gardener's store, providing additional storage.

The Opportunity
For us, the attraction of 50A Windmill Lane is the combination of location, plot and versatility.

This is a genuine detached bungalow in a tucked-away part of Castlecroft, positioned along a semi-private driveway and surrounded by just a small number of other detached homes.

The accommodation is already a good size, but the property would benefit from updating, giving the next owner the opportunity to remodel and update the bungalow to their own specification.

The third bedroom/dining room provides particularly good flexibility, while the substantial gardens give the property something that is increasingly difficult to find, a genuinely generous plot in an established residential location.

Whether you're looking for a bungalow to modernise and make your own, a property with excellent outside space, or an opportunity where there may be scope to add further value, this is certainly one to take a closer look at.

Castlecroft is an established and popular residential area on the south-western side of Wolverhampton, with Windmill Lane providing access through the local community towards the wider road network. Wolverhampton City Council's own character study highlights Castlecroft's strong connections to surrounding areas and describes the area as being well served by public transport into Wolverhampton city centre.

For everyday travel, there are local bus stops along Castlecroft Road and around Windmill Lane, with National Express West Midlands services including the number 3 providing connections towards Wolverhampton and Fordhouses. This gives residents straightforward access into the city centre and onward transport connections.

For rail travel, Wolverhampton railway station provides mainline services and is also an important local transport interchange, with onward bus and Metro connections available from the station.

The location is also well placed for access to the wider road network, with the A454 providing connections towards Wolverhampton and surrounding areas, while the M54 and I54 are accessible for those commuting further afield.

Schools
Families are particularly well served locally, with Castlecroft Primary School located on Windmill Crescent and catering for children from nursery through to primary age.

For secondary education, Smestow Academy is also located on Windmill Crescent within Castlecroft and provides education for pupils aged 11–18.

There are also a number of other primary schools within the surrounding Castlecroft, Tettenhall and Penn areas.

Green Spaces & The Outdoors
One of the real benefits of this part of Wolverhampton is the amount of accessible green space.

Smestow Valley Local Nature Reserve is particularly close by and provides around 50 hectares of meadows, scrubland and woodland, with pedestrian access and mainly level paths suitable for walking and cycling.

The wider Smestow Valley also connects with the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal and provides an extensive green corridor through this part of Wolverhampton.

Closer to home, Bantock Park provides further open space, mature parkland, gardens and walking routes, while Castlecroft itself benefits from a number of smaller local green spaces and sports facilities.
