This traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home on Blackpool Road offers solid everyday space and clear scope for improvement. At around 938 sq ft it provides two reception rooms, a kitchen, three bedrooms and a modern three-piece bathroom — practical layouts for family living. The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and an enclosed rear garden with a garage.
The house requires modernisation and redecoration throughout, making it well suited to buyers looking to add value or personalise a family home. The mid‑20th century features and bay-window frontage give character that can be retained or refreshed; substantial cosmetic work is needed rather than major structural overhaul.
Location is convenient for Moor Park and a wide range of local amenities and transport links. Nearby schools include several rated Good, though some local schools have weaker Ofsted outcomes. Note the neighbourhood has above-average crime figures and the immediate area is classified as deprived, which may influence buyer priorities and resale considerations.
Practical positives include a small private garden, rear garage with up-and-over door and personal access, freehold tenure and a low Council Tax Band B. This makes the property a realistic option for a family seeking an affordable starter home with scope, or an investor comfortable carrying out renovation works.
