This compact two-bedroom end-of-terrace on Lydstep Close is a straightforward, chain-free purchase ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. Built around 1996–2002, the home offers practical features—driveway parking, an enclosed rear garden and double glazing—set in a comfortable suburban pocket with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
The house needs general updating and cosmetic renovation, so it suits someone wanting to personalise a property and add value. Interior rooms are modest in size (approximately 611 sqft total) with a reception room, breakfast kitchen and two bedrooms upstairs. The master has built-in wardrobes; the layout is simple and easy to adapt.
Location strengths include close public transport links, nearby good and outstanding schools, local shops and leisure amenities, and a very affluent wider area. Practical disadvantages to factor in are the property’s small overall and plot size, above-average local crime rates, and the need for refurbishment works. Council tax is moderate.
Overall this is a well-positioned, affordable freehold opportunity for buyers prepared to refresh the home to their standards or for investors targeting a lettable, low-maintenance town-house in Oakwood.
