This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Laburnum Grove offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or those seeking a compact, low-maintenance base. The ground floor has a hallway, living room, kitchen and a convenient downstairs W/C; two bedrooms and a family bathroom sit upstairs. The property is freehold and about 731 sq ft, with an enclosed rear garden and driveway to the front.
Practical highlights include independent internet-based heating controls for each room, double glazing, custom fitted blinds throughout and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal—features that suit modern daily life and working-from-home needs. The garden is low-maintenance and fully enclosed, useful for pets or easy upkeep, while off-street parking adds day-to-day convenience.
Be aware of some material considerations: the house is compact with modest room sizes and a single family bathroom; buyers requiring more space may find this limiting. The property sits in an area with medium flood risk and local deprivation indicators, and while crime is average, these factors may affect long-term resale and insurance costs. There is no note of major structural defects, but purchasers wanting full renovation potential should expect a straightforward rather than high-spec upgrade.
Nearby schools include several rated Good and an Outstanding primary, and local amenities provide sports and leisure facilities. Council Tax Band B keeps running costs lower. Overall, this is a practical, well-equipped starter home that balances convenience and low upkeep, best suited to buyers prioritising affordability and easy living rather than large family space or premium location premiums.
