Practical family home with gardens and parking, ripe for improvement.
No forward chain — ready for quick completion
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Ringwood Road offers a practical family layout with two reception rooms, a breakfast/utility room and off-street parking. The property is freehold and offered with no forward chain, making it suitable for buyers wanting a relatively quick move. The rear garden is manageable and private, with patio and lawn areas for children or low-maintenance gardening.
Internals are solid mid-20th-century construction with gas central heating and double glazing already installed. The accommodation includes built-in storage and a functional kitchen with integrated hob and oven; the ground floor cloakroom and utility/breakfast room add everyday convenience. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are strong, and local primary schools have good Ofsted ratings, which will appeal to families.
The house does need some updating and cosmetic attention in places: lounge flooring and some mid-century finishes are dated and the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. The immediate area is identified as more deprived with a higher local crime level than average; purchasers should consider local environment and security measures.
Overall this is a sensible family purchase or refurbishment opportunity for a buyer who values location, quick possession and scope to add value through improvement works. A straightforward survey is recommended to confirm services, insulation and any work required before committing.
