A traditional 1930s semi-detached home offering two double bedrooms, an attached single garage and a generous rear garden. The property sits on a good-sized plot with driveway parking and double-glazed windows, making it a practical choice for first-time buyers or small families. The long lease (904 years) and chain-free sale make purchase straightforward.
The interior provides a comfortable layout with a bright bay-fronted lounge and a practical kitchen overlooking the garden. Rooms retain period features such as diamond-paned windows and stained glass to the entrance porch, giving the house character while providing scope for modernisation to personal taste.
Buyers should note a need for updating in parts of the property. Wall insulation is assumed absent and there are inconsistencies in the heating information supplied (property advertised with gas central heating, yet main heating records list electric room heaters). These issues are common in homes of this age and represent clear opportunities to add value through improvements.
Overall this is an accessible, well-located starter home close to good schools and local amenities. The combination of private outdoor space, garage and long lease makes it attractive to buyers wanting a manageable project with sensible potential for uplift.
