This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached home on Waltham Avenue offers ready-to-move-in living with a generous southerly rear garden. The living room opens through double doors to the garden, creating a bright, flexible ground floor space for family life and entertaining. A driveway provides off-street parking and the property is sold freehold and chain free, simplifying purchase.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: entrance hall, living room with fireplace, kitchen and a single family bathroom serving three bedrooms upstairs. Constructed in the early 20th century, the house retains period character while offering contemporary comforts such as gas central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown). The EPC is C.
Buyers should be aware of local context: the property sits in a hard-pressed neighbourhood with very high area deprivation and above-average crime levels for the ward. The external walls are original solid brick with no known added insulation, which may be a consideration for future improvement works. There is only one bathroom, and the overall internal size is modest (about 867 sq ft).
This home will suit families wanting outdoor space and good access to nearby schools, parks and amenities, or investors seeking a straightforward buy-to-let with strong rental demand in the city. It presents immediate occupation potential but also scope for targeted upgrades (insulation improvement, cosmetic modernisation) to add value and comfort.
