This chain-free, freehold home offers 1103 sq ft of traditional family accommodation arranged over two floors. The property retains original fireplaces, a refitted bathroom, double glazing and gas central heating, and sits in a cul-de-sac about three quarters of a mile from Elmers End and Eden Park stations. A paved front drive leads to a double car port and a virtually south-facing rear garden of approximately 70' provides strong outdoor space for families and gardeners.
The layout is conventional and practical: sitting room and separate dining room give flexible living space, while three bedrooms occupy the first floor. The conservatory and some external areas require attention and will need investment; the kitchen is fitted but many buyers will prefer to replace it to meet modern standards. Overall decorative order is generally good, but redecoration in places is required.
Location conveniences include several good local primary and secondary schools within walking distance, nearby shops, bus routes and a leisure centre. The house was built in the 1930s with solid brick walls (no insulation assumed) so buyers should consider potential thermal upgrades. Note the local area statistics: higher crime rates and greater area deprivation than average, which may affect some purchasers' priorities.
This property will suit families seeking a roomy, characterful home with a long garden and off-street parking, or investors looking for refurbishment potential close to commuter links. The principal attractions are the garden, original period features and transport connections; the principal works likely required are conservatory repair, kitchen replacement and possible insulation improvements.
