This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Myrtle Drive offers straightforward family living with practical outdoor space and off-street parking. The property is freehold, chain-free and sits on a decent plot with a gated driveway, lawn to the front and a paved patio garden with useful outbuildings to the rear. At about 974 sq ft the layout suits growing families who value outdoor space and easy access to local schools and amenities.
Internally the home retains mid-20th-century features including a fireplace in the lounge and patterned wallpaper; many rooms will benefit from modernization. The dining kitchen provides a functional family hub, while the single shower room serves the three bedrooms upstairs. The house has double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators but is a system-built property with no known wall insulation, so buyers should consider energy improvements.
Practical advantages include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, low council tax (Band A) and no flood risk. However the local area scores high on deprivation and recorded crime is above average; purchasers should weigh location factors. This property is well suited to families or investors comfortable undertaking cosmetic and energy-efficiency upgrades to unlock further value.
Available with no upward chain, the home presents a clear purchase route and scope to personalise. For buyers seeking an affordable, traditional family home with parking, a private garden and good transport links, this offers a realistic opportunity.
