Extensively updated mid-terrace overlooking communal green — ideal starter home..
Three bedrooms; 22' open-plan sitting and dining room
This mid-terraced three-bedroom house in NR5 has been extensively updated and is offered ready to move into. Key mechanical and structural elements have been renewed in recent years — new boiler (02/2023) with extended warranty, windows replaced (08/2020) with a ten-year warranty, and the roof re-felted and re-laid in 2019. The layout suits first-time buyers or small families seeking low-maintenance living: an enclosed porch, ground-floor WC, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a 22' open-plan sitting and dining room leading to a private enclosed garden.
The property sits overlooking communal green space and benefits from new internal finishes including oak-veneer doors (2024) and re-plastered walls throughout. Practical storage is provided by an integrated utility/storage cupboard and built-in wardrobes in the two larger bedrooms. The garden is landscaped with artificial turf, raised decking and a pergola — easy to maintain and usable for outdoor entertaining.
Buyers should consider local and construction factors when deciding. The home is in a very deprived, multi-ethnic area with above-average crime; that may affect long-term resale and rental demand. The house is a system-built, mid‑20th-century terrace with assumed lack of wall insulation; further historic fabric details or insulation works may be needed if energy performance improvements are desired. The electrics have a new fuse box with certification running to 01/2026 — check renewal and any further electrical compliance as needed.
Overall this is a compact, turnkey starter home with modern fittings and several recent warranties in place. It will suit buyers who prioritise move-in readiness, low garden maintenance and practical living space, and who are comfortable with the wider neighbourhood characteristics.
