Tucked at the end of a private driveway in the Planets development, this three-bedroom semi-detached house offers substantial scope for someone wanting to personalise a family home. The layout is traditional and spacious, with a front living room, a wide kitchen/diner to the rear and three double bedrooms upstairs. The property is chain-free and benefits from recent upgrades such as a replaced boiler and double glazing.
Externally the plot stands out for this property type: a larger-than-typical rear garden and a single garage give useful outdoor space and storage. There is driveway parking for three to four cars. There is also planning potential to extend to the side or rear (subject to planning), which will appeal to buyers looking to add value and living space.
The house requires modernisation throughout and will suit buyers comfortable undertaking renovation work. Cosmetic and layout updates are needed in the kitchen, bathroom and garden; the property has solid bones but is presented unmodernised. The local area is classified as hampered neighbourhoods with higher deprivation levels and average crime, so buyers should weigh community factors alongside the home’s potential.
Practical positives include convenient access to local shops, parks and a range of nearby schools, plus good broadband and reasonable commuting links. This is a clear opportunity for families or investors who want a no-chain purchase with scope to improve and increase value over time.
