This two-bedroom semi-detached home in Shipley View offers a comfortable, ready-to-move-in option for first-time buyers or professionals. A newly refitted modern kitchen and two reception rooms provide flexible living and entertaining space, while two double bedrooms suit a small family or share-house setup. The property is freehold and built in the 1980s, with mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown).
Outside, a driveway comfortably fits two cars and side access leads to a private, generous rear garden with a deck and lawn — a rare outdoor space for the price point. The house sits in a quiet, very low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and good bus and commute links, and local shops, cafes and services a short drive away.
Practical considerations: the EPC is grade D, and standard property checks have not been reported as tested (services, heating, plumbing and electrics). The plot is relatively small and overall internal size is average at about 721 sqft, but the efficient layout and recent kitchen upgrade make this an affordable, low-maintenance entry into the area.
At £190,000 this home represents accessible value in a very affluent, comfortable suburbia setting with easy commuting. Buyers wanting extra energy efficiency improvements or full-service verification should factor those costs in, but many purchasers will appreciate the turnkey feel and private garden.
