A straightforward three-bedroom semi detached house in Thurcroft, offered with no upward chain and priced for a quick sale. The layout includes two reception rooms, a conservatory, kitchen, ground-floor WC and a three-piece wet room upstairs — a practical home for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let investor seeking rental income. The detached garage and decent front and rear gardens add useful outdoor space and off-street parking.
The property is post-war (1930s–1940s) construction and is likely to benefit from updating: cosmetic works are needed throughout and the walls are system-built with no known insulation. The boiler and mains gas heating serve the house, and double glazing is fitted though install dates are unknown. These factors present both an opportunity to improve energy performance and a likely need for expenditure on upgrading and modernising.
Location-wise this sits in a small-town/village setting close to local shops and excellent mobile signal with fast broadband — practical for commuting and everyday life. Note the area scores as deprived with higher local crime levels; buyers should consider location-specific factors and commission their own surveys. Council tax is very cheap, and the property’s modest footprint (about 786 sq ft) keeps running costs lower but limits expansion without extension work.
For first-time buyers this home offers an affordable entry onto the property ladder with immediate occupation possible and scope to personalise. For investors it could let well after modest refurbishment. Important: purchasers should arrange full inspections for structure, services and insulation, and factor renovation costs into their budget.
