This well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home in Norton Tower offers an accessible entry into Halifax’s property market. The layout includes a spacious lounge, large kitchen-diner and two double bedrooms, arranged over a traditional two-storey plan. A private driveway and detached tandem garage add useful off-street parking and storage — a real plus for first-time buyers.
Sited on a quiet street, the property benefits from a secure rear garden and mature front landscaping. Double glazing was installed after 2002 and mains gas central heating serves the house, keeping running costs reasonable. The home is freehold and council tax is described as low, supporting affordability for a new household.
There is potential to extend subject to planning (STPP), so the house can grow with a young family or be improved to add value. Local schools rated Good are within easy reach and bus routes provide straightforward access to Halifax town centre and motorways, making commuting practical.
Notable drawbacks are straightforward and important: the plot is small, so outdoor space is limited; the construction is cavity wall with no added insulation assumed, which could mean higher heating costs unless upgraded; and there is a single family bathroom only. Buyers should also factor in the mid-20th-century build date when considering future maintenance or renovations.
