This compact Victorian semi-detached house blends period character with practical, recently refreshed interiors. The living room’s bay window and separate dining room give flexible living space for a small family or couple, while two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom complete the layout. Fresh decoration and newly fitted double glazing make the property move-in ready for many buyers.
Positioned on The Common with private rear access and an enclosed garden, the house sits close to local shops, bus routes and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Fast broadband, low crime and a very affordable council tax band add to running-cost advantages in this peaceful, ageing-suburban area.
Buyers should note the plot is small and the overall property footprint is average for a two-bedroom town home. The building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls (no obvious insulation) — useful for character but likely to need attention if you plan major energy upgrades. The property has elements described as freshly decorated, though some external and period features may need longer-term maintenance or sympathetic updating.
Ideal for first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance purchase with rental potential. The combination of location, refreshed interiors and low holding costs gives clear short-term appeal, while buyers wanting extensive modernisation should budget for insulation and potential structural-era maintenance typical of this build.
