3 bed terraced house for sale

Whitville Close, Kidderminster DY11

This three bedroom extended home combines spacious reception rooms with an established garden, driveway parking and a separate garage.

Description

An extended mid terrace home with a large central living room and a separate dining and family room opening onto the garden. Twin rooflights distinguish the rear extension, while the enlarged kitchen provides extensive cabinetry and integrated cooking appliances. Upstairs are three bedrooms, including a primary bedroom with fitted wardrobes, together with a shower room. A partially boarded loft with a pull-down ladder provides additional storage. Mature shrubs frame the paved rear garden, complemented by a garage en bloc. Recent improvements include a new roof in 2025, together with a replacement garage roof and door, both approximately two years old.

The ground floor
Cream Shaker-style cabinetry and dark quartz work surfaces give the extended kitchen a cohesive finish, with cupboards arranged around three sides. A gas hob, extractor and electric double oven complement the preparation space, while a tumble dryer adds further practicality. A broad front window illuminates the sink area.

The large living room forms the central reception space, with an oak fireplace surround providing a focal point, complemented by matching fitted oak storage cupboards and a television stand. Glazed sliding doors connect it to the rear dining and family room, allowing the two spaces to open together or remain separate.

Twin Velux windows and wide sliding garden doors give the dining and family room an airy character and a strong connection to the garden. Windows flank the rear doors, framing the established shrubs beyond and bringing further daylight into the extension.

An enclosed entrance porch creates a useful buffer between the driveway and the main hall. Timber doors introduce the interior, with separate access to the kitchen and living room and stairs rising to the first floor.

The first floor
An extensive arrangement of fitted wardrobes and overhead cupboards gives the primary bedroom substantial storage, neatly incorporating a recess for the bed. A broad rear window provides an outlook across the garden.

The second bedroom is a double room at the front of the property, with a wide window incorporating diamond patterned glazing. Its uncluttered shape leaves space for bedroom furniture, complemented by a panelled timber entrance door.

Overhead cupboards make effective use of space in the third bedroom, retaining room for a single bed below or an office arrangement. A rear window looks towards the garden, while a fitted drawer unit adds further storage.

The bathroom is arranged as a shower room, with a curved glazed enclosure and contrasting wall panels. A washbasin with cupboard storage and a WC complete the fittings, while an obscured front window provides daylight.

The garden and parking
Mature shrubs give the rear garden an established, leafy character. Paving extends from the dining and family room to a further seating area beneath a timber pergola, with deep borders and timber fencing defining the space. An alleyway to the rear provides additional access to the garden.

The frontage provides driveway parking for two cars immediately outside the entrance porch. A separate garage within a nearby block offers additional covered parking or storage, benefiting from a roof and door replaced approximately two years ago.

Fees

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.

Compliance and Verification Fee

A Compliance and Verification Fee of £85 plus VAT (£102 inc VAT) per individual purchaser or related party requiring anti-money laundering, identity, source and proof of funds or financial verification checks is payable upon acceptance of an offer and receipt of the reservation fee.

This fee represents the cost of compliance administration and verification services undertaken in connection with the proposed purchase including anti-money laundering checks, sanctions screening, source of funds verification, proof of funds checks and associated compliance procedures.

The Compliance and Verification Fee shall be deducted from the reservation fee monies held by Andrew Grant.

No compliance or verification work shall be commenced until the reservation fee has been received in cleared funds.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
