Affordable three-bed with garden and river views, close to schools.
Three bedrooms: two doubles plus attic room with river views
A compact three-bedroom semi-detached house on Kingsley Avenue, offering practical family living with notable river views from the attic and partial views from the master bedroom. The property sits on a decent plot with a mature rear garden and greenhouse — ideal for family gardening and outdoor storage. Two good-sized double bedrooms plus an attic room provide flexible space for children, home office or guests. The single bathroom and overall footprint (approximately 765 sq ft) suit couples, growing families or first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area.
Built in the late 1960s–1970s with pebble-dash exterior and double glazing of unknown age, the house is heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators and comes with a filled cavity wall construction. Practical positives include cheap council tax, excellent mobile signal and proximity to several well-rated primary and secondary schools, including an Outstanding nursery and a top 10% secondary option. Local amenities are basic but include a playground, leisure facilities and a post box.
Be upfront about limitations: the home is small and has only one bathroom; broadband speeds are slow; the glazing install date is unknown and may need attention; the wider area shows high deprivation indicators. These factors affect suitability for heavy home-workers or those needing rapid internet. For buyers prepared to accept modest living space and invest selectively, the property offers affordable access to riverside views, outdoor space and local schools.
Overall this is a practical, value-priced family home or first purchase with potential to modernise services (windows, broadband upgrades) and make the most of the garden and views. Viewing recommended to assess room sizes and potential for layout improvements.
