This three-bedroom semi-detached 1930s home on Mayfair Avenue offers a compact, well-presented layout ideal for first-time buyers or small families. The property retains period character, including a bay window and fireplace, and benefits from a modern kitchen, a newly fitted bathroom and a south-facing rear garden. A driveway provides off-street parking and the plot is a decent size for the overall footprint.
The interior is bright with a separate dining area adjacent to the kitchen and a lounge that opens toward the garden. At about 809 sq ft, the house is modest in size but practical: three generously sized bedrooms upstairs and a recently updated bathroom reduce immediate refurbishment costs. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal are useful for home working or streaming.
Material considerations are clear: the property sits in an area with very high crime and high deprivation indices, which may affect insurance, resale and some buyers’ sense of security. The overall size is small for a three-bedroom home, so families needing more space should note the footprint. The exterior is traditional pebble-dash and may benefit from cosmetic updating over time.
Located in NG18 with convenient access to local shops, leisure facilities and bus routes, the home is also reasonably well placed for commuting via nearby A38, A60 and M1 links. The freehold tenure and low council tax are positive ownership factors. Buyers should budget for routine updating and consider the neighbourhood profile when weighing investment or family-suitability decisions.
