Bright, well-presented three-bedroom link-detached home in Covingham, pitched at buyers seeking a move-in-ready starter or growing-family base. The ground floor offers a spacious lounge that flows to a modern kitchen/dining area; French doors open to a manageable south-facing garden that catches the afternoon sun.
Practical features include off-road parking, a garage with additional storage, and an EV charging point—useful for low-running-cost motoring. The house benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband, all useful for everyday comfort and working from home.
Notable considerations: the property has a single family bathroom and a relatively small plot, which may limit expansion or garden use. There is a medium flood risk in the area and the windows pre-date 2002, so some buyers may want to budget for future glazing upgrades. The construction era (1976–82) means standard maintenance and potential modernisation opportunities rather than major structural concerns.
Set in a very low-crime, affluent neighbourhood with good mobile signal, nearby schools (mixed Ofsted results), local bus links and green spaces, this home suits first-time buyers wanting a convenient, well-connected location with scope to personalise over time. Early inspection will show how well the property sits in the street and its practical day-to-day layout.
