Freehold tenure, affordable council tax and fast broadband speeds
This well-presented three-bedroom terrace offers a straightforward move-in opportunity for a first-time buyer. The vendors have recently fitted double glazing and a new front door (2024), and internal presentation is modern with a fitted kitchen, laminate floors and useful understairs storage. The lounge opens from a sheltered porch and the kitchen/diner benefits from a breakfast bar and French doors to the garden.
External space is practical rather than expansive: a small front garden and an enclosed rear lawn provide private outdoor space, with an en-bloc garage and parking accessed from the rear. The garage roof has recently been renewed and the vendor is replacing the garage door, so vehicular storage will be functional on completion.
Location is a strong selling point for commuters and families. Birch Drive sits in the popular Lordswood pocket, close to primary and secondary schools rated Good, local shops, bus links and easy access to the M2/M20. Broadband speeds are fast and the property sits in an affluent, comfortable-suburbia area.
Notable limitations are the modest overall size (approximately 756 sq ft) and a single family bathroom — factors that may matter as a family grows. Crime levels are average for the area and the plot is small, so buyers seeking larger gardens or extensive living space should be aware. Tenure is freehold and council tax costs are affordable, making this a cost-effective entry into the area.
