Refurbished three-bedroom semi with solar panels and no upward chain — ideal first step or rental buy..
No upward chain, freehold tenure
Recently refurbished and move-in ready, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers practical living across two floors with open-plan ground-floor living and kitchen. Improvements include new combination boiler, double glazing and solar panels, so running costs are lower than many similar homes. The property is freehold and offered with no upward chain, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer or investor.
Accommodation is compact but well laid out — about 834 sq ft — with French doors to a small, low-maintenance rear garden and a gated front garden. The home has one family bathroom and useful understairs/storage cupboards; the layout suits couples, small families or buy-to-let purchasers aiming for steady rental demand near local universities and transport links.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the plot is small and internal space is modest, with only one bathroom. The immediate area records above-average crime and is within a very deprived local authority zone, which may affect long-term resale values for some purchasers. Council Tax is low (Band A) and the EPC is a reasonable C.
Overall, this refurbished home represents a pragmatic, affordable step onto the property ladder or a low fuss rental purchase. Viewings are recommended for those prioritising a ready-to-live-in property close to transport, local services and universities, who accept the area's socioeconomic challenges.
