Chain-free three-bed with gated driveway and small garden near good schools.
Chain-free three-bedroom terraced house, 891 sq ft
This bay-fronted mid-terraced house on Hawfield Road offers practical family living across three bedrooms and one bathroom with 891 sq ft of accommodation. The property is chain-free and includes a gated, rear driveway for secure off-street parking plus a small private garden and a useful utility room with French doors to the outside. The modern open-plan kitchen/diner and bay-fronted reception bring natural light to the ground floor, making it feel larger than the plot suggests.
The home dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has sensible, modern essentials: mains gas boiler with radiators and double glazing (installed pre-2002). Construction is timber-frame with partial insulation assumed — this presents scope to improve thermal performance and energy costs. The house is in a quiet location within walking distance of several well-rated primary and secondary schools, and benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
Buyers should note the wider context: the area has above-average recorded crime and high levels of local deprivation. The plot is small and the property is typical of its era, so scope for extension is limited. Some external and paved driveway areas show wear and will need routine maintenance or cosmetic updating. This makes the property suited to a family or first-time buyer seeking an affordable, ready-to-live-in home with potential to improve rather than a turnkey luxury purchase.
Overall, this is a reasonably priced, chain-free family home in a convenient location with secure parking and good schools nearby. It will appeal to buyers wanting immediate occupation with straightforward improvement potential and to investors looking for a let-ready property in a major conurbation.
