Set on a corner site in Blakelaw, this two-bedroom semi-detached home combines generous internal space (around 980 sqft) with practical outdoor areas — front and side gardens, a driveway and a detached garage. The layout is conventional and well-lit, featuring a bay-fronted living room, a good-sized kitchen/diner and a bathroom with the boiler in a cupboard. Recent double glazing and a mains gas central heating system (boiler and radiators) provide reasonable thermal performance; the EPC is band C.
This property will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking value: the freehold tenure, low council tax band A and fast broadband/mobile connectivity make it economical to run and easy to let or occupy. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding, and nearby leisure and sports amenities add to everyday convenience.
Be realistic about the work needed — the exterior and interior are dated mid-century modern and will benefit from cosmetic updating or deeper renovation to unlock full value. The plot is small for a corner position, and the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and significant area deprivation; buyers should factor these issues into safety, security and long-term plans.
Overall, this is a large two-bedroom home with practical parking, garden space and clear scope for improvement — a straightforward purchase for a buyer who wants a well-priced starter home or a renovator/investor ready to add value.
