Spacious rear garden; good family outdoor space

This four-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced house offers good family space across c.959 sq ft with a small front driveway and a substantial rear garden. It’s freehold and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing (still under warranty) and a recently replaced bathroom — practical improvements that reduce immediate spend.
The property is a non-standard, system-built construction (1950–1966) which can restrict mortgage options to certain lenders; buyers should check eligibility early. The home shows dated decor and assumed lack of wall insulation, so there is clear potential — and cost — for energy-efficiency upgrades and cosmetic renovation.
Located in a hard-pressed, very deprived urban area with high crime rates, the neighbourhood brings affordability but also social challenges to consider. On the positive side, the location is well served by local shops, buses and several highly rated primary and secondary schools within walking distance, which is useful for families.
Overall this house suits buyers seeking an affordable, practical family home with scope to improve value — or investors who can navigate the non-standard construction and local market dynamics. Factor in renovation, insulation work and neighbourhood considerations when assessing long-term plans.
