This semi-detached two-bedroom house on Chapel Road is a hands-on renovation opportunity ideal for first-time buyers wanting to add value. The property is partly refurbished with a new mains gas central heating system and double glazing already installed, reducing immediate major expenses.
The layout includes a lounge, kitchen/diner, conservatory, ground-floor cloakroom and a first-floor bathroom, plus a loft room providing extra living or storage space. The large rear garden includes an allotment area with mature fruit trees, several sheds, and a good-sized lawn — perfect for gardening or outdoor living.
Practical benefits include off-road parking, a garage/workshop and a low-risk flood location. Council tax is inexpensive, and the house sits close to the town centre, schools and the beachfront, making daily errands and commutes straightforward.
Notable drawbacks are that the renovation is unfinished and the property requires completion throughout; the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated and broadband speeds are slow. Expect cosmetic and likely further improvement costs (electrical, finishes, insulation) before move-in or rental. The property suits buyers prepared for DIY or budgeted refurbishment to realise its full potential.
