This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Trent Road offers practical family accommodation over two floors, with two reception rooms, a modern fitted kitchen and a sizable, fully enclosed rear garden. Built in the early 1990s, the property benefits from PVCu double glazing, gas central heating and a driveway for off-street parking. The house is compact (around 711 sq ft) but well laid out for everyday living.
The current assured shorthold tenancy means the property can be purchased as an investment with a tenant in situ, or with vacant possession if preferred. Broadband speeds and mobile signal in the area are strong, which supports both rental appeal and home working. Local amenities, bus links and several primary and secondary schools (including a highly ranked secondary) are close by.
There are a few material points to note. The neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the wider area is relatively deprived — factors that will affect long-term demand and should be considered by buyers. The front driveway and garden show signs of neglect and will need maintenance; the house is otherwise presented in broadly good order but a buyer should budget for general upkeep and obtain a survey.
This home suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the market or investors looking for a straightforward rental property in Grantham. Its modest footprint and practical layout make it economical to run (Council Tax Band B), while the generous rear garden and off-street parking add clear value. Viewings are recommended to assess layout and condition in person.
