3 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Turn-key three-bed with south garden, garage and low council tax — ideal first-time buy..
Three bedrooms with family bathroom upstairs
This three-bedroom end-of-terrace offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer or investor. The open-plan kitchen/diner, lounge with patio doors and a south-facing garden create a comfortable ground-floor living space, while three upstairs bedrooms and a family bathroom suit families or sharers. A detached garage with electric supply and a driveway provide useful off-street parking and storage.
The house is compact (approximately 740 sq ft) and sits on a small plot, which keeps maintenance simple but limits outdoor space. Built in the early 1990s, it benefits from double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators. Interior finishes are neutral and in good order, making immediate occupation possible with only cosmetic updating required for personal taste.
Buyers should note the wider location context: the local area is classified as very deprived with high crime levels, so prospective purchasers should check local services, safety measures and insurance implications. The property is freehold with very low council tax, which helps running costs, but the small size and single bathroom may feel restrictive for larger households.
Nearby primary and secondary schools include several rated Good; one listed secondary has an Inadequate Ofsted report, so families should confirm catchment and current school performance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or streaming. Overall, this is a practical, affordable entry property with garage and garden, best suited to first-time buyers or investors willing to accept the local area challenges.
