This newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached house on Buckminster Road offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or investors. The home is centred around a bespoke new kitchen and a long living room, with mains gas heating, double glazing and a recently fitted shower suite. The private, enclosed rear garden includes a brick-built outhouse with electrics — ideal for a home office or hobby room — plus additional shed storage.
The property sits on a decent plot with off-street parking for two cars and gated side access. Local amenities and several good primary schools are nearby, and the area benefits from fast broadband and low council tax, helping keep running costs down. There is no flooding risk and the home is freehold, reducing purchase complexity.
Be candid about the context: the wider area is classified as deprived with an industrious-harship profile and some local secondary schools rated lower. The house is modest in overall footprint (about 937 sq ft) and has a single shower room, which may feel limited for larger families. The filled cavity walls and standard mid-20th-century construction mean straightforward maintenance rather than major structural work.
For buyers seeking affordable entry with immediate occupation, simple running costs and space to add value (home office, cosmetic updates), this property is a practical, low-risk choice. For those prioritising a larger footprint, multiple bathrooms or a higher-rated local area, it may feel constrained.
