This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Watling Road is a clear project for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to renovate. The property is freehold and sits on a very large plot with a tiered rear garden and a front garden with side path, offering space to extend or re-landscape subject to permissions.
Internally the layout includes an entrance hall, spacious living room, kitchen, dining room, three well-proportioned bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. The home requires full modernisation: fixtures, finishes and likely mechanical updates are needed, but the basic mid-20th century structure and room proportions provide a straightforward refurbishment canvas.
Location strengths include an outstanding nearby primary school, no flood risk, excellent mobile signal and very low council tax. Significant local challenges include high crime levels, slow broadband speeds and pronounced area deprivation — factors that will affect resale timing and rental demand. Buyers should factor these into renovation and investment plans.
Overall, this property offers value through its plot size, freehold tenure and renovation potential, but it demands hands-on improvement and realistic expectations about the local area. Suitable for someone wanting to add value through refurbishment or to create a personalised family home.
