A three-bedroom end property offered with no upward chain, this brick-built home sits in a popular Toton location close to shops, schools and transport links including the tram. The layout includes a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen and a single shower room; a garage sits in a separate block with off-street parking to the front. The plot is larger than average for the street, with private rear garden and low-maintenance front area.
The property requires comprehensive updating and redecoration throughout. Windows are double glazed, heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, but fittings, surfaces and décor are dated and will suit a buyer planning refurbishment or a renovation project. There is scope to modernise the kitchen and bathroom, refresh the living areas and improve garden landscaping to add value.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds — factors that appeal to families and buyers needing reliable connectivity. Nearby schools include several highly regarded primaries and secondaries, and road links (M1, A52/A50) plus public transport make commuting straightforward.
Material drawbacks are clear and factual: the property needs renovation throughout, the garage is detached in a separate block, garden maintenance is required (front shrubs are overgrown), and interior fixtures are dated. The house is modest in overall internal size (about 743 sq ft) which should be considered when assessing space needs.
Overall this home offers a realistic buying opportunity for a family, first-time buyer or investor willing to carry out works to create a contemporary home or to add value through refurbishment.
