This three-bedroom mid-20th century terrace offers straightforward family accommodation with genuine scope for improvement. The house is freehold, double-glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler with radiators, keeping running costs conventional for the area. Internal space is average (approx. 953 sq ft) with three good-sized bedrooms and one family bathroom — practical for everyday family life or for a rental let.
The property sits on a small, enclosed rear plot that provides private outdoor space and pedestrian access toward nearby meadow/parkland and local play areas. Local schools have Good Ofsted ratings and everyday amenities — bus stops, shops and leisure facilities — are within easy reach. Broadband speeds are reported as fast and mobile signal average.
Important issues to note: the house shows clear signs of age and will need updating throughout. The kitchen is dated and other finishes require modernisation; the external appearance and flat roof suggest future maintenance costs. The neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which will affect resale values and lettings demand. Buyers should budget for refurbishment and possibly structural or roof works arising from the building’s system-built construction.
For a family seeking affordable space close to green areas, or an investor prepared to renovate, this home presents a low-entry opportunity. The combination of freehold tenure, practical layout and nearby schools is attractive, but a realistic renovation budget and awareness of local social challenges are essential.
