Characterful two-bed semi with garden, parking and workshop — ideal first home..
Two double bedrooms and large family bathroom
This two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached house on Shortlands Road offers period character, practical living space and a private rear garden—an appealing step onto the property ladder. The ground floor provides two reception rooms and a kitchen with direct garden access, while upstairs has two double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. A small internal workshop adds useful storage or hobby space.
The rear garden is well kept with lawn, planted borders and a paved seating area, creating a calm outdoor retreat for summer use. Off-street parking for one car and gated side access add everyday convenience. The property is freehold and has no identified flood risk.
Buyers should note the house presents in average external condition and will need routine maintenance to timber bay details and roof tiles. Front outdoor space is modest and street parking is limited. Broadband speeds are average though mobile signal is excellent. The surrounding area is classified as relatively deprived, with mixed school inspection results nearby.
Overall this is a sensible, characterful home suited to first-time buyers or downsizers who want a ready-to-live-in house with scope for modest improvements. The combination of garden, workshop and off-street parking makes it practical for everyday family life, while the property’s upkeep needs keep purchase and running costs realistic.
