This chain-free, three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers. Recent refurbishment includes a refitted kitchen and modern shower room, so you can settle quickly without major immediate works. The layout is straightforward across two storeys, with neutral finishes and wood flooring in the living room.
Outside, the property benefits from ample off-street parking to the front and a low-maintenance enclosed patio garden to the rear — ideal if you want minimal upkeep or a secure space for children and pets. The plot is small, so there’s limited scope for large extensions or extensive landscaping without further work.
Practical running costs are helped by a very cheap council tax band A, mains gas central heating and double glazing. Local broadband speeds are fast and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making the location suitable for young families and commuters.
Buyers should note key material considerations: the home sits in an ex-mining area and may require standard solicitor checks; the EPC is D; the neighbourhood records higher-than-average crime. These facts do not prevent a comfortable life here but should be factored into purchase decisions and any longer-term improvement plans.
