This three-bedroom semi-detached home sits directly adjacent to the canal and offers immediate appeal for a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking outdoor space and easy parking. The property features a front driveway, lawned gardens to three sides and a small conservatory that brings extra light to the rear. Canal-side walks are on the doorstep, useful for dog owners and weekend strolls.
Internally the layout is practical: a front lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner and downstairs WC, with three modest bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The house measures around 634 sq ft, so rooms are compact but functional. UPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating are in place; the boiler is wall-mounted in the kitchen.
The home is presented simply and would benefit from cosmetic updating and landscaping to unlock full value. Important considerations: the area has a medium flood risk and local crime levels are high, and the neighbourhood shows signs of deprivation. These factors may affect insurance and resale prospects and should be checked alongside any survey.
No upward chain makes the purchase process straightforward, and the reasonable price reflects the property size and finish. For buyers prioritising riverside location, off-street parking and a manageable garden, this property offers a sound entry-level opportunity with scope to modernise over time.
