Practical three-bed terrace with driveway, conservatory and garden — ideal for first-time buyers.
Freehold mid-terrace with three bedrooms
This mid-20th century three-bedroom mid-terrace on Plowden Road offers practical family living with useful outdoor space and off-street parking. The house is freehold, has gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and a conservatory/utility area opening onto a lawned rear garden. A block-paved driveway provides parking for two vehicles — a real asset on a residential street.
Internally the layout is straightforward: open-plan lounge with staircase, fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room and three first-floor bedrooms. At 781 sq ft the footprint is modest, but the rooms are well-proportioned for the size. The conservatory adds flexible space for laundry, storage or a play area. Council tax is very cheap and the property has an EPC rating of D.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood factors: the area is classified as very deprived with relatively high local crime levels. The double glazing predates 2002 and some internal areas show signs of age — the living room in particular may benefit from modernisation to suit a contemporary finish. There is only one bathroom, which may be limiting for larger families.
This home will suit first-time buyers or a young family seeking a low-entry freehold house with parking and outside space, or buyers wanting a modest renovation project to add value. Proximity to several primary schools and local amenities makes it practical for day-to-day family life, while good mobile and broadband speeds support home working or study.
