This newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached home combines character details with contemporary finishes, offering ready-to-move-in accommodation for families seeking space and sensible running costs. Bright reception rooms and a large conservatory open to a fully enclosed rear garden, creating practical indoor-outdoor living for children and pets. The modern kitchen includes integrated double ovens and a gas hob suitable for everyday family cooking.
Practical benefits include a large gated driveway providing ample off-road parking, gas central heating with a modern boiler, double glazing and external wall insulation for improved thermal performance, and very low council tax (Band A). The property is solid brick, was built between 1930–1949 and has a D67 EPC rating — comfortable but not top-tier for efficiency.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood factors: the immediate area records higher crime levels and significant deprivation, and the broader location is classified as a former coal-mining area (buyers are advised to check the Coal Authority). The driveway would benefit from modernisation, and while the home is newly decorated throughout, purchasers should factor in standard checks on services, roofing and any site-specific searches during conveyancing.
Overall this is a well-presented family home offering immediate occupancy, garden space and parking at a competitive price point, best suited to buyers prioritising internal space and low running costs over a quiet, low-crime setting.
