Located opposite the green; area has local deprivation and renting profile
Set opposite St James green, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers comfortable family accommodation with a generous, well-kept rear garden and practical outstores. The living room features a bay window looking onto the green; the dining room and fitted breakfast kitchen create easy flow for everyday family life. A Worcester combination gas boiler and uPVC double glazing provide reliable heating and decent thermal performance; the EPC is currently band D with clear scope to improve to band B.
Practical benefits include a block‑paved driveway for off-street parking, a side lobby with separate utility/store and an outside WC — useful for muddy boots and garden tasks. The plot is a standout feature: a slabbed patio, two lawns, mature planting and a timber shed give space for children to play and for gardening projects.
The house is well maintained but not newly refurbished; internal finishes are mid‑20th century and some updating would modernise the home and raise value. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) and the property sits in a more deprived area with a local profile of renting and ageing communities; buyers should factor in the local market context. Council tax is low and broadband and mobile signals are good, which suits home working and family connectivity.
For families this is a practical, move‑inable home in a convenient location close to good primary schools and local amenities. For buyers seeking value, modest cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements would unlock clear upside given the plot size and overall condition.
