Summary - 53 Swale Drive NN5 7NN
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Move-in ready terraced home with sunny low-maintenance garden and strong connectivity.
Open-plan living/dining with connecting arch to kitchen
This well-presented mid-terrace offers clear move-in-ready appeal for first-time buyers seeking manageable maintenance and good transport links. The open-plan living/dining room flows to a kitchen/breakfast area, and the re-fitted family bathroom reduces immediate upgrade costs.
Outside, a southerly-facing, low-maintenance garden and extended paved patio with a retractable awning create an easy entertaining space. Practical extras include outside lighting, a water tap, timber shed and artificial lawn for minimal upkeep.
Be candid about location and fabric: the property sits in a very deprived neighbourhood with above-average local crime, which may affect some buyers’ priorities. The mid-20th-century cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so improving thermal efficiency could be a future cost.
On the positive side, running costs are modest (very cheap council tax band A), and connectivity is strong with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working or keeping rental appeal. Overall this compact three-bedroom home suits a first-time buyer or investor wanting a tidy, affordable property near transport links.
