A practical three-bedroom semi-detached home on Shirley Road offering strong value for first-time buyers or investors. The house includes a generous lounge/diner, breakfast kitchen, and three good-sized bedrooms within a compact 702 sqft layout. Off-street parking for up to three cars and a sizeable, private rear garden with a large timber outbuilding add useful outdoor space and scope for family use or rental appeal.
The property is priced to reflect its need for updating: interiors show dated mid-century features and will benefit from modernization to bring kitchens, bathroom and décor up to contemporary standards. There is potential to extend to the rear subject to necessary planning permission (STNPP), which could add living space and value if approved.
Location strengths include quick access to local amenities, schools (several rated Good or Outstanding nearby), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Be mindful the area scores as deprived with above-average crime indicators; buyers should consider this when weighing security and long-term investment plans. Council tax is very low, and the home is freehold, which helps running costs and ownership clarity.
Overall this is a straightforward buy for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home with scope to add value, or an investor targeting rental demand in a city suburb. The house is structurally conventional but will reward buyers who budget for cosmetic and possible extension work.
