This three-bedroom end-terrace on Shortfield Road offers a practical family layout and large front and rear gardens, ideal for outdoor living and play. The house is chain-free and freehold, presenting a straightforward purchase for families, first-time buyers or investors looking for straightforward refurbishment potential.
Inside, rooms are light and flexible with space for lounge and dining on the ground floor and three bedrooms upstairs. The property totals about 620 sq ft and was built in the 1950–66 period, so it retains mid-century proportions and character but will benefit from modernisation throughout, particularly heating and electrics.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric room heaters and the double glazing pre-dates 2002, so upgrading to a central heating system and improved glazing would reduce running costs. The immediate area has above-average crime and shows high levels of deprivation; buyers should weigh community factors alongside the low council tax and affordable price.
Local amenities and good transport links are nearby, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making this a sensible option for families who want a long-term home to adapt. With a decent plot, scope for improvement and no onward chain, the house is best suited to buyers prepared to invest in modernization to realise its potential.
