Open-plan kitchen/diner, utility room, downstairs WC and lounge
Good-size rear garden, driveway for one car, patio and gravelled area
Two double bedrooms and large four-piece family bathroom
Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — scope for thermal improvements
Double glazing installed pre-2002; some windows may be dated
Small plot size and higher local crime rate — consider security upgrades
Very low council tax and mains gas heating reduces ongoing costs
A chain-free, two-double-bedroom semi-detached house offering immediate move-in potential and clear scope to add value. The property sits on a small plot with off-street parking, a good-sized rear garden and an extended open-plan kitchen/diner — practical for modern family life or first-time buyers seeking space on a budget.
Accommodation includes lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner with patio doors to the garden, useful utility room and ground-floor WC. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a large four-piece bathroom. The layout and extension give flexible living space without major structural work.
Notable positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing and very low council tax, making running costs affordable. There is obvious scope for cosmetic updating (kitchen, bathroom, finishes) and thermal improvements — the original solid brick walls likely lack cavity insulation, so loft and wall insulation upgrades could reduce bills and add resale value.
Buyers should note the property is in an area with higher crime levels than average and sits on a small plot; some improvements and security measures may be advisable. Overall, this is an accessible, well-located starter home with good local schools, shopping and transport links and clear potential for personalisation and uplift.
