This three-bedroom semi-detached home sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Thorpe Astley, occupying a decent plot with a private driveway and detached garage. Built around 1996–2002, the property offers practical, modern family accommodation across about 830 sq ft, with gas central heating, double glazing and a low-maintenance rear garden backing onto a green space.
The layout is traditional and straightforward: a bright living room, separate kitchen, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The house is ready for everyday living but would benefit from cosmetic updating in places to reflect modern tastes—there is clear potential to reconfigure or refresh finishes to add value for growing families or first-time buyers.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband, mains gas heating and nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools. There is no flooding risk and the location gives easy access to local shops, bus routes and leisure amenities, making day-to-day life convenient.
Important drawbacks are stated plainly: the area records a high crime rate, which prospective buyers should investigate further with local sources. The property has only one bathroom for three bedrooms and the exact condition and installation dates of glazing and some services are unknown. These factors may affect suitability for larger families or buyers seeking a turnkey, low-risk purchase.
