This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Shawbrow View offers practical family living with straightforward, ready-to-use accommodation. The ground floor has a bright entrance hall, a spacious lounge with a large bow window, and a fitted kitchen/dining room with integrated appliances and useful storage. Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms and a third flexible room, plus a family bathroom with a three-piece suite and over-bath shower.
Outside, the property sits on a small but manageable plot with a front lawn, an enclosed rear garden with patio seating and lawn, and a detached garage accessed via a driveway providing off-street parking for multiple vehicles. Built in the 1980s and fitted with double glazing installed before 2002, the house benefits from mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical advantages for modern family life.
Notable positives include the garage, parking and low council tax, making running costs economical. However, the local area scores as an ageing urban community with above-average crime rates and wider area deprivation; buyers should factor this into their decision. The property is freehold and of average overall size (approximately 837 sq ft), so it suits growing families or buyers seeking a manageable, low-maintenance home rather than a large plot.
Overall, the house presents a sensible purchase at its price point with immediate occupancy potential. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising convenience — schools rated Good are nearby — and those wanting a compact family home with straightforward upkeep. Any buyer wishing to personalise will find scope for cosmetic updates rather than major structural works.
