At about 839 sq ft, the layout includes a lounge/dining room, an extended fitted kitchen and a private paved rear garden — straightforward spaces that work well for everyday life and entertaining.
The property is freehold with mains gas central heating, a modern boiler and double glazing fitted after 2002, so running costs are likely reasonable. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing charges low; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for home working or streaming.
Location is convenient for local shops, bus links and several primary and secondary schools; some nearby primaries and secondaries are rated Good, though one local primary is Inadequate. The immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average crime, so buyers should weigh local social conditions alongside the house’s practical benefits.

The plot is small and outdoor space is limited to the paved rear garden. Overall this is a sensible, affordable entry-level buy in Forest Hall with potential to personalise over time.
