This extended five-bedroom semi-detached house on Crown Street offers practical family living across multiple floors. The property features a large open-plan kitchen/dining area, two reception rooms and two bathrooms, giving flexible space for children, guests and home working. A driveway with off-street parking and a decent rear garden with patio, greenhouse and koi pond add outdoor appeal.
Built c.1900–1929, the house has double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating with a boiler and radiators; parts of the ground floor benefit from underfloor heating. The plot is a clear asset for a family — driveway for several cars and an established garden for children or hobby gardeners.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The area is classed as very deprived with a high local crime rate, which will concern some purchasers and affect resale values. The property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency improvements and associated costs. The overall property is described as small for the price and may need targeted refurbishment to modernise finishes.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working and modern family life. The house is close to several primary and secondary schools, including an Outstanding-rated primary, making it convenient for families. For buyers seeking rental income or refurbishment potential, the layout and plot provide clear options, but due diligence on local market dynamics is important due to area indicators.
