This extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on Elsie Street is offered chain-free and ready to view. Set on a decent plot, the property benefits from a large rear garden with a decked entertaining area and gated off-street parking — useful extras in a terraced street setting. The home includes a modern kitchen and bathroom, mains gas central heating and double glazing throughout.
Internally the layout is straightforward: an entrance hall leads to an open-plan lounge and kitchen/diner, with three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The total internal floor area is about 1,012 sq ft, giving comfortable, average-sized rooms suitable for a growing household or a buy-to-let setup.
Buyers should note the location sits in a deprived, blue-collar terraces neighbourhood with higher-than-average local crime levels; this will influence resale and rental demand. The property is of solid brick construction (pre-1900) and likely lacks cavity insulation, so prospective purchasers should consider improvement costs for energy efficiency. Services and appliances have not been tested and are sold as seen.
Positive practical points include low flood risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted, and low council tax banding. For buyers looking for a reasonably priced, chain-free family home or an investor seeking a centrally located rental, this house offers clear potential provided you allow for some energy-efficiency and cosmetic investment.
