A compact, well-presented terraced house offered chain free — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an easy-moving starter home. The ground floor has a spacious lounge, separate dining area and a modern fitted kitchen, while two bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor. The property totals approximately 797 sq ft and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating.
Outside, the low-maintenance rear garden and an off-street garage en-bloc provide useful storage and parking — rare for homes in this price band. The location is central to local shops, bus routes and a cluster of good-rated primary and secondary schools, making day-to-day life straightforward. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the house sits on a small plot and was constructed in the mid-20th century; cavity walls are believed to have no added insulation, so there may be scope for energy-efficiency improvements. The wider area has pockets of deprivation and crime levels are average, which may concern some buyers seeking quieter neighbourhoods.
Overall this is an affordable, practical property for someone wanting a ready-to-live-in home with potential to improve energy performance and add value over time. Chain-free sale and the garage make it particularly appealing to first-time buyers wanting straightforward access and storage.
