Practical family home with garden, driveway and strong commuter links.
Driveway parking to front of house
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Ilfracombe Road offers practical family living with good commuter links and low-maintenance outdoor space. The generous living room and modern kitchen/diner create a comfortable ground-floor layout for everyday life and entertaining. The patio doors open onto an easy-care garden with artificial lawn and a brick outbuilding for storage or a small workshop.
Upstairs are three well-configured bedrooms and a single family bathroom — enough for a young family but something to consider if you need multiple bathrooms. The property sits on a long lease (942 years remaining) and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. Driveway parking is a useful convenience in this suburban location.
The house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, so while the layout and finishes are broadly modern and tidy, there may be opportunity or need for updating in the longer term. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and Lea Green station plus quick access to the M62 make daily commutes straightforward. Council tax is in a lower band, helping running costs.
Overall this home suits first-time buyers upsizing to a family house or young families seeking a practical, well-located property with a manageable garden and good transport links. Be aware of the single bathroom and the property’s modest total floor area when assessing space needs.
