This bay-fronted Victorian semi-detached house offers a practical two-bedroom layout with character features and a sizable private rear garden. Arranged over two storeys, the property includes two well-proportioned double bedrooms, separate living and dining rooms, a fitted kitchen, downstairs WC and a first-floor bathroom. At about 650 sqft, it's compact but functional for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors.
Outside, the rear garden provides a patio, lawn and two sheds with side access — a genuine outdoor asset for the size of the plot. The house benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas boiler with radiators, and a freehold title. Local amenities, buses and several schools are within walking distance, while the A421 and mainline station are accessible for commuters.
Buyers should note this is an older solid-brick property (built before 1900) and walls are likely uninsulated, so thermal upgrades could be needed. The surrounding area shows higher crime levels and wider local deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ priorities or lettability. The plot is small relative to larger suburban gardens, and the home will suit purchasers prepared to carry out general updating rather than those seeking a fully modern turnkey property.
