This chain-free link-detached house on Swanage Road offers practical family living across two floors. The ground floor combines a 15'8" lounge with French doors to the garden and a 17'4" kitchen/diner, giving adaptable space for daily life and entertaining. Off-street parking and a garage add useful storage and vehicle space for a busy household.
Upstairs are four bedrooms and a modern fitted shower room — a functional layout for parents and children or home working. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed post-2002) and fast mobile and broadband connectivity, making it ready to occupy while also offering scope for aesthetic updates.
Important considerations: the house sits on a small plot in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, which will affect desirability for some purchasers. The solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated as originally built, so buyers should expect higher-than-average heating costs unless insulation improvements are made. With only one shower room for four bedrooms, the layout may feel tight for larger families.
Overall this is a practical, well-located family home for buyers prioritising transport links, schools and immediate occupancy; it also presents modest renovation potential for those wanting to improve energy efficiency and internal layout.
