No Upward Chain and freehold ownership make this three-bedroom semi a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or investors. The house offers a traditional layout with a good-sized lounge, separate kitchen, and a single bathroom, plus three first-floor bedrooms. Large rear garden and ample frontage provide scope for landscaping, extension (subject to consents), or creating outdoor entertaining space.
Constructed in the mid-20th century, the property has double glazing and gas central heating from a mains gas boiler; the EPC is currently rated D. The exterior shows typical 1970s pebble-dash and there is evidence the garden is overgrown and the plot will need clearance and ongoing maintenance. Internal fittings and decor are dated and will benefit from updating to improve comfort, energy performance and resale value.
Practical details: the home is relatively small at about 732 sq ft with one bathroom, making efficient planning important for family use. The area offers strong local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with nearby primary schools rated Good–Outstanding. The neighbourhood is classified as an ageing urban community with higher-than-average area deprivation—this may affect long-term demand but keeps entry prices accessible.
For a buyer happy to carry out cosmetic and garden refurbishment, the house represents genuine potential: straightforward ownership, a large private garden and room to modernise the interior to suit contemporary family or rental requirements. Be aware of likely costs for landscaping, interior modernisation and possible wall insulation upgrade given cavity walls assumed without insulation.
