A well-proportioned three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house offering practical family living and sensible scope for improvement. The bay-fronted lounge and contemporary kitchen-diner give comfortable daily spaces, while sliding doors open onto a large, private rear garden ideal for children or future entertaining. Off-street parking for two cars and a detached garage with power add useful storage and workshop potential.
The property is attractively placed for local employers including Rolls-Royce sites and has good road links to the A50/M1 corridor. Nearby primary schools have Good Ofsted ratings and local amenities are within walking distance. The seller notes scope to extend (subject to planning permission), making this appealing for buyers seeking extra space or value add.
There are important factors to consider: the house sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime levels, and external walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick as built). The single family bathroom and older double glazing mean some updating could be beneficial. Overall this is a realistic opportunity for a first-time buyer or someone happy to refurbish for long-term gain.
