A three-bedroom end-of-terrace in a quiet cul-de-sac offering immediate occupation and no onward chain — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a practical starter home. The layout includes a comfortable lounge, a kitchen/diner that opens to the rear garden, a downstairs WC and an upstairs bathroom. The property is freehold with an external store and a decent plot size for the area.
Located close to Queen Alexandra Hospital and local amenities, the house is well placed for workers needing short commutes and for families accessing several nearby primary and secondary schools. The accommodation is structurally conventional and habitable but shows signs of cosmetic age; simple updates will modernise the space and add value. Double glazing and mains gas central heating are in place.
Notable drawbacks are factual and straightforward: the area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived, cavity walls appear uninsulated (as built), and parts of the home are cosmetically dated. There is a single family bathroom and modest internal space typical of its mid-20th-century construction. Prospective buyers should budget for refurbishment to achieve a contemporary finish.
Overall this property offers accessible ownership, sensible running costs (Council Tax Band B), and clear potential for sensible improvement. For a buyer seeking a manageable project close to transport and employment hubs, it’s a practical and attainable purchase with scope for uplift through modest investment.
