This recently renovated three-bedroom detached house offers comfortable living across two storeys with practical outdoor space and secure off-street parking. The property measures around 1,144 sq ft, has a garage and driveway, and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating — ready for immediate occupation by a family or professionals.
Living areas include two reception rooms, a modern kitchen-dining space and a ground-floor cloakroom. Three well-proportioned bedrooms and two contemporary bathrooms provide flexibility for family life, home working, or guest accommodation. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote working and streaming.
Externally there is a decent-sized rear garden and a front garden; the plot offers scope for modest landscaping or a play area. Constructed between 1996–2002 and offered freehold, the home has been updated recently but maintains conventional construction (cavity walls, tiled roof) and a standard ceiling height throughout.
Buyers should note the local context: the immediate neighbourhood is classified as an ageing, industrious-workers area with constrained renters and a high crime level. The wider area is very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics and perceptions despite the property’s strong internal presentation. No flooding risk is recorded and council tax is affordable (Band C).
