A three-bedroom semi-detached home on Preston Way offering generous outdoor space, off-street parking and straightforward layout for family living. The property is freehold, set on a decent plot with a large block-paved drive and an enclosed rear garden with decking and a summer house — practical for parking, play and storage. The ground-floor kitchen/diner opens onto the garden and there’s a comfortable lounge and practical first-floor bathroom. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing is installed (pre-2002).
The house dates from the mid-20th century and presents clear scope for updating: some rooms show unfinished plastering and the overall interior would benefit from modernisation. At c.872 sq ft the accommodation is an average size for its type and suits buyers wanting to add value through cosmetic and layout improvements. Services and appliances have not been tested and a survey is recommended.
Location delivers fast mobile and broadband connectivity and reasonable access to local primary and secondary schools (two primaries rated Good). The area is in a very deprived, high-crime neighbourhood with an industrious/hardship local profile; this affects resale and may concern some buyers. Council tax is low (band A), which helps running costs. Overall this is a practical, affordable semi with good external space and clear potential for improvement for a family or investor prepared to renovate.
