Affordable three-bed semi with a new roof — renovate to add value in a convenient cul-de-sac.
Chain free, freehold three-bedroom semi-detached home
Newly fitted roof; double glazing and gas central heating present
Requires full modernisation; dated interiors and likely no wall insulation
Potential for off-street parking subject to planning permission
Decent rear garden and garage; scope to extend or landscape
Council Tax Band A — low ongoing council tax costs
High local crime and very deprived area — affects resale and lettings
Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; commuter links and schools nearby
This three-bedroom semi-detached home in a quiet cul-de-sac offers an affordable entry to homeownership or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The property is chain free, freehold, and benefits from a newly fitted roof, double glazing and gas central heating throughout — essentials already in place.
The house requires full modernisation: dated interiors, probable lack of wall insulation, and general refurbishment are needed to bring rooms up to contemporary standards. While liveable now, expect upgrading to kitchen, bathroom fittings and internal decor to unlock full value. There is potential to create a more open-plan ground floor layout or improve energy efficiency with insulation work.
Practical positives include a decent rear garden, garage, and scope for off-street parking subject to planning permission. Local amenities, good bus links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting remote work and tenant demand.
Be candid about location factors: the area scores high for crime and very high deprivation measures, which will affect resale values and lettings. Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low. This property suits a hands-on first-time buyer ready to renovate, or an investor seeking a value-refurbish-rent opportunity.
