This chain-free two-bedroom semi offers an affordable entry into Merryoak with off-street parking and an enclosed rear garden. The living room’s bay window and the open-plan kitchen/diner give a feeling of space despite the compact footprint. High-speed full-fibre broadband and good transport links make the house practical for working-from-home or commuting.
The layout is straightforward: lounge, open kitchen/diner and storage beneath the stairs on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The property is freehold and has cheap council tax (Band B), which helps keep running costs low. The home has double glazing and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators.
Be clear about likely improvement costs: the EPC is listed as E, indicating basic energy efficiency; secondary insulation or heating upgrades could be needed. The house is small at around 505 sq ft and sits in a neighbourhood with higher levels of deprivation, which may affect long-term resale. The open fireplace is currently capped and the property dates from the 1930–1949 period, so buyers should expect standard maintenance for a house of this age.
For first-time buyers or investors seeking a compact, ready-to-move-in house with immediate broadband and transport convenience, this home represents practical value. Those prioritising generous interiors or top-tier energy performance may wish to factor refurbishment or retrofit costs into their budget.
