The charming three bedroom period house on Church Hill is set over three storeys, has steps down to the garden and even backs onto the countryside.
As well as all that, it is just half a mile from the A449 for access into the city centre, offering a 'combination of convenience and tranquillity'.
It is on the market with estate agents Peter James Property with a price tag of £475,000.
Originally two cottages thought to date back to the mid-1700s, the two dwellings were later combined to create an old vicarage for St Bartholomew’s Church opposite, before being subsequently split into two separate, semi-detached homes once again during the 1980s.
The house is just a few minutes' walk away from the top rated primary school in Wolverhampton, St Bartholomew's, and is opposite the church.
It is made up of three floors and a dry cellar, and retains a lot of its period charm with its stained glass windows and wooden staircase.
At the front of the property there is a wide porch with colourful glazing in yellow, blue and magenta, leading to the entrance hall.
The utility room and downstairs WC can be found off the central hallway, where there is an oak staircase and gallery landing.
Further inside on the ground floor is the dining room which overlooks the garden.
The rest of the space is a large, open-plan living area, featuring patio doors, a wood-burning stove, and a kitchen area.
Off the landing, the master bedroom is a substantial double with en-suite bathroom and views across the countryside. The room has plenty of space to add a dressing area too.
On the same floor, the second bedroom features another en-suite, and there is an extra room that can be used as an office or fourth bedroom. It has a nursery door to the master bedroom and views of the countryside.
On the top floor is the third double bedroom with 'breathtaking' views over the open fields beyond the garden, an ensuite, and a roll top bath.
There is plenty of parking in the courtyard with a further parking space right before the front gate, and the adjacent church car park can be used for guest parking.
The garden is enclosed by a stone wall to one side and has a gate directly onto the bridleway for relaxed country walks.
