This 1930s semi-detached house on Cottrell Road offers comfortable family living with a long private garden and garage. The property features an extended open-plan kitchen/diner with oak block worktops, two integrated ovens, dishwasher and bi-folding doors that open onto a 60'+ rear garden backing onto the River Frome — great for outdoor time and a feeling of space. The living room’s bay window brings in light and there is gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
The layout is traditional: entrance hall, lounge, extended kitchen/diner, ground-floor WC, three bedrooms and one family bathroom. The decent plot includes shared access to a single garage and scope to add a workshop or garden building subject to planning permission — good potential for a home office or hobby space. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong, and local schools and retail amenities are within walking distance.
Buyers should note material negatives: the area records very high crime levels, which may concern families and affect insurance costs. Parts of the house appear dated and will need updating or refurbishment to modern standards; the solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and could need energy-efficiency improvements. There is only one bathroom for three bedrooms and the garage access is shared. Planning would be required for any outbuilding.
Overall this chain-free, freehold home suits buyers seeking a family property with garden space and realistic scope to improve value by modernising and adding a garden workshop. The location offers easy access to the city centre and major retail parks, but purchasers should factor in safety-related considerations and upgrade costs when viewing.
