This recently refurbished two-bedroom semi-detached house on Gathurst Road offers a move-in ready option for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking low-maintenance living. The living room is cosy with a log burner and the modern kitchen-diner provides practical space for everyday life and casual entertaining. Upstairs has two comfortable bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom, all in an average-sized layout (approx. 824 sq ft).
Outside, the property benefits from a shared driveway, a detached garage and a private rear garden. The front enjoys pleasant open views, and local transport links and well-rated primary schools are within easy reach. Gas central heating with a boiler and radiators is in place; broadband and mobile signals are strong and the area records very low crime.
Important practical points: the home is leasehold and has an EPC rating of D. The property was constructed mid-20th century with cavity walls that may lack added insulation, so buyers interested in improving energy efficiency should budget for potential insulation or upgrade works. Council Tax Band B makes running costs relatively low.
Overall this is a straightforward, refurbished starter home or buy-to-let prospect in a very affluent, settled neighbourhood. It’s best suited to buyers who want an immediately habitable property with modest future scope to improve energy performance and personalise finishes.
