Three bedrooms with a conservatory leading to rear garden
This three-bedroom end-of-terrace on Sterndale Road is a compact, practical home offering off-street parking, a conservatory and a newly fitted boiler — strengths for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout includes a front lounge with bay window, a kitchen-diner opening to a conservatory, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The plot includes a decent rear garden and a block-paved forecourt/drive for multiple vehicles.
The property is double glazed and benefits from gas central heating with a new boiler, so immediate heating costs and comfort are improved. It is freehold and council tax is described as cheap, which helps running costs. Local links (M5/M6) and nearby schools make the location practical for commuting and young families.
Notable drawbacks are the overall small internal size (approx. 718 sq ft) and only one bathroom, which may feel tight for larger families. The wider area shows signs of social deprivation, and flood risk is assessed as medium — both factors to consider for long-term value and insurance costs. The house dates from the 1950s–60s and, while tidy, would benefit from cosmetic updating to kitchens and bathrooms to maximise resale or rental income.
In short: a well-presented, affordable end-terrace with clear rental or starter-home appeal, low immediate maintenance on heating, and scope for value-add refurbishment. Buyers should check flood cover, space requirements for a family, and whether further modernisation is needed to meet their standards.
