Chain-free three-bed with large garden — renovation project and good value..
Three bedrooms over two storeys, practical layout
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Dell Avenue is offered chain-free and priced to reflect its renovation potential. The mid-20th century red-brick home sits on a decent plot with a generously sized rear garden and a garage, appealing to buyers who want outdoor space and scope to add value.
Internally the layout is practical: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen/diner, side hall, shower room and three bedrooms across two storeys. The property has double glazing fitted post-2002, mains gas boiler with radiators, and an EPC rating of C, but it does require modernisation throughout — cosmetic and likely some functional updates will be needed to bring it up to contemporary standards.
Location offers some positives for families and commuters: good local mobile signal, fast broadband, and several well-rated nearby schools including an Outstanding primary and Good secondary. Be candid about drawbacks: the area is very deprived with very high crime statistics, which will affect resale and rental prospects. No flood risk and very low council tax help running costs, making this a pragmatic project for a first-time buyer or an investor prepared to renovate carefully.
Viewings recommended for those comfortable with a property that needs work but offers clear scope for improvement, outdoor space and a straightforward, chain-free purchase.
