Set on the popular Hobby Horse development, this three-bedroom semi offers an accessible first step on the property ladder. The ground floor has a bay-fronted lounge, full-width kitchen-diner and a conservatory extension that boosts living space and brings garden access. Off-street parking on the side driveway and a manageable rear lawn make outdoor upkeep straightforward.
Internally the home is practical: gas central heating, double glazing and a traditional layout across two storeys suit everyday family life or a rental investment. Bedrooms are a good size for a house of this footprint and the single bathroom serves the upper level. Constructed in the 1980s, the property presents sound bones with scope for modernising to add value.
Notable practical points are transparent: the EPC is rated D and the home is compact at around 672 sq ft with a small plot, so storage and garden space are limited. There is only one bathroom. These factors make the house especially suitable for first-time buyers, downsizers wanting low-maintenance outdoors, or investors targeting steady rental demand rather than large-family living.
Tenure is freehold and council tax band is low, helping running costs. Viewings are by appointment; an early inspection will show how the conservatory and layout could be adapted to individual needs or updated to improve energy performance and comfort.
