An affordable two-bedroom semi-detached home offered chain free and ready for a buyer willing to make improvements. The property sits on a larger-than-typical plot for this type, with a substantial driveway for multiple cars, front and rear gardens and a conservatory that adds practical living space. Gas central heating and double glazing are already in place, helping with running costs.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance porch, hallway, lounge with a feature fireplace, kitchen-diner and a ground-floor shower room; two double bedrooms occupy the first floor. Room proportions are generous for a two-bed and the conservatory and dining area give scope to reconfigure or extend subject to permissions. The house is freehold and council tax is very low, which supports affordability for first-time buyers or investors seeking a modest refurb project.
The property is sold requiring renovation — cosmetic updating, decluttering and likely some modernisation will be needed throughout. The area is classified as very deprived and the wider neighbourhood is industrious with mixed housing tenure; local services and schools nearby have good Ofsted outcomes but the local socio-economic indicators are mixed. Buyers should budget for improvement works and surveys to confirm condition and services before committing.
In short, this is a practical, low-cost entry into homeownership or a value-driven investment for someone prepared to carry out refurbishment works. Its drive-in parking, gardens and no-chain status are genuine advantages for the right purchaser.
