This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Briarwood Avenue offers about 1,000 sq ft of adaptable living space, freehold and with an EPC C rating. The layout includes two reception rooms, a spacious kitchen and three generous bedrooms; a previously removed stud wall has created a dressing room that can be reinstated easily to restore a four-bedroom plan.
The property is well-connected locally with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to shops, bus stops and a mix of primary and secondary schools (several rated Outstanding). It suits first-time buyers seeking space to grow or investors targeting a strong rental market: with modernization and reconfiguration to four bedrooms, estimated rent could reach £1,200pcm, giving a projected gross yield around 6.26% based on a £200,000 guide price and an approximate £30,000 refurbishment cost.
Buyers should note material points plainly: the house was built in the 1950s–60s using system-built walls with no known insulation, so further fabric and energy-efficiency work may be needed. The wider area faces high deprivation, and local services reflect that mix; crime is average. One nearby primary school has an Inadequate Ofsted rating, though others are Good or Outstanding. A virtual tour is available to assess the space before viewing.
