A practical three-bedroom semi-detached home offering immediate move-in potential for first-time buyers or landlords. The ground floor delivers a large kitchen-diner, separate lounge and useful downstairs WC, while three double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the first floor. The property sits on a sizeable rear garden and benefits from good broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime.
Located within walking distance of shops, schools and the Metro Link, this house suits commuters and families needing local amenities. The freehold tenure, low council tax (Band A) and EPC C rating make the running costs competitive for the area. Room sizes are modest overall (approx. 718 sq ft), so the house will suit buyers seeking an affordable starter home or a rental investment with immediate let potential.
Buyers should note the home dates from c.1900–1929 and external walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation; upgrading wall insulation and checking fabric and services could be advisable. The wider area is marked as deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth and tenant demand. No flood risk is recorded.
Overall this is a sensible, budget-friendly purchase with good transport links and a large garden — attractive for those who prioritise space outside, low running costs and scope for targeted improvements to increase value.
