Set on Nickerwood Drive in Aston, this three-bedroom semi offers solid mid-20th-century construction and a practical layout across two storeys. The property includes a separate dining room, living room with period fireplace, and a functional kitchen with side access — good bones for a family or investor looking to add value. Double glazing and gas central heating are in place, helping with running costs, and the freehold tenure plus off-street car hard standing add practical appeal.
The house requires modernisation throughout: dated decor, older double glazing, and assumed lack of cavity wall insulation mean improvement work is likely. Interior photos show damp patches in at least one bedroom and generally worn finishes; the wet room is functional but basic. Buyers should budget for cosmetic renovation and possible remedial work rather than move-in-ready decorating.
Location is practical for commuters with the M1 within a short drive, Crystal Peaks and Rother Valley Park nearby, and several primary schools rated Good close by. The wider area shows signs of economic hardship and above-average crime, so buyers should consider local services and long-term neighbourhood prospects when assessing suitability.
This property suits a cash-buying investor, first-time buyer with renovation budget, or a young family willing to modernise. The council tax band is low, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the decent plot size offers scope for rear garden landscaping or modest extension (subject to consents).
