Three-bedroom semi with garden, low tax and strong local schools — some modernisation needed.
Chain-free freehold three-bedroom semi-detached house
A three-bedroom semi-detached home on Barks Drive offering straightforward family accommodation and scope to add personal style. The property is chain-free and freehold, with a large lounge, fitted kitchen/diner, ground-floor WC and a fully enclosed rear garden — useful for children and pets. At about 894 sq ft the layout is practical for young families or first-time buyers who want a ready-to-live-in house with room to improve.
Key practical benefits include fast broadband, mains gas central heating with a combi boiler, double glazing (installed post-2002) and very low council tax. Local schooling is strong, with several primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding within easy reach, making the location suitable for families prioritising education.
The property is mid-20th-century construction with a red-brick exterior and small front garden. Internally some rooms show dated decor and will benefit from modernization — updating finishes and cosmetic work would add immediate value. The front yard needs maintenance and the plot is relatively small, so outdoor space is best for low-maintenance family use rather than large-scale landscaping.
Be aware the wider area records above-average crime and high deprivation indices; buyers should factor local social conditions into their plans. For buyers seeking a reasonably priced, chain-free family home with good schooling and clear potential to personalise, this property merits an early viewing.
