A chain-free, two-bedroom semi-detached home on Scott Street offering straightforward entry to the property market. The layout is traditional with two reception rooms, a practical kitchen and two double bedrooms upstairs — good-sized, flexible accommodation for first-time buyers or young families. Off-street parking and a decent rear garden add outdoor space that’s rare at this price point.
The house is double glazed and centrally heated via a mains-gas boiler (Baxi located in an outbuilding). Interiors are generally neutral and liveable, with laminate and new carpet in places; the disconnected gas fire in the rear reception is noted and the property will benefit from modest cosmetic updating to suit modern tastes. The living spaces and storage (under-stairs and loft/landing cupboards) provide everyday practicality.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby good primary and secondary schools, and convenient local amenities. Material negatives to weigh: the neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with above-average crime statistics, which will matter to some buyers. Council Tax is low (Band A), tenure is freehold and the sale is offered with no onward chain, helping a swift move-in for the right buyer.
