This well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home in a quiet cul-de-sac offers straightforward, low-cost entry to Holywell’s housing market. The property benefits from recent major work — a new roof (Jan 2024) and a new combination boiler (Sept 2023) — which reduce near-term maintenance and running-cost uncertainty. Driveway parking and a rear garden provide practical outdoor space for everyday use.
Rooms are compact and useable, with a bay-front living room and kitchen-diner layout that suit first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a tidy, low-maintenance property. Double glazing helps retain heat, but the main heating is electric storage heaters; prospective buyers should note heating type and running costs. The plot and garden are small, so this is best for buyers who prioritise location and affordability over large external space.
Location is a genuine asset: easy access to Holywell’s shops, schools and public transport, and reasonable routes to the A55 and coastal roads. At this price point the house presents clear uplift potential through modest cosmetic improvements or reconfiguration. However, the local area records higher crime and significant deprivation indices, which could affect resale and rental considerations, so viewings should consider local market dynamics.
Overall, this property is a pragmatic choice for those seeking an affordable, move-in-ready starter home or a rental asset with recent roof and boiler renewals. Be clear on heating costs and limited outdoor space before committing.
