This well-presented two-bedroom semi-detached home offers a straightforward introduction to homeownership. Nicely decorated throughout, the property combines traditional character — including a classic fireplace — with practical, versatile living: two reception rooms, a functional kitchen and a tidy bathroom. The house spans about 933 sq ft and is sold freehold, making it an economical purchase for first-time buyers.
A quiet, well-maintained garden provides a private outdoor space for relaxing or small-scale entertaining; the plot is modest, so maintenance is low. The location is convenient for families and commuters: several well-rated primary and secondary schools are close by, local parks and basic amenities are within easy reach, and broadband speeds are reported as fast.
Buyers should note a few material points. The property sits in an area with higher-than-average crime statistics and high local deprivation, which may affect resale and perception. The glazing is double but was installed before 2002, and the EPC is D, so some energy-improvement work could be beneficial. Overall, this is a largely move-in-ready home with modest running costs (council tax band C) but clear scope to improve energy efficiency and security if desired.
In short, this tidy mid-20th-century semi offers a comfortable, characterful base for first-time buyers seeking value, nearby schools and manageable outdoor space. It suits someone looking for a well-presented starter home with straightforward potential to personalise and improve over time.
