Set on Westfield Avenue, this three-bedroom semi-detached house (approx. 930 sq ft) suits families or first-time buyers seeking value and scope for improvement. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor WC and a long garage with rear access; a decent rear garden provides practical outdoor space for children and pets. Good local schools and transport links are within easy reach, and broadband and mobile signal are strong.
The property is offered as a probate sale and requires updating throughout — photos show waste on the driveway and some external clearance is needed. Internally the home is dated in places and would benefit from cosmetic modernisation and potential attention to minor damp/mould risks noted in the kitchen description. These works present clear scope to add value for an owner-occupier or investor.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, a long garage for secure parking or storage, very cheap council tax, and a sizeable plot with patio and outbuilding. Be realistic about the location: the area is classified as deprived with high local crime rates, so buyers should consider security and ongoing neighbourhood challenges alongside the purchase price and renovation potential.
Early viewing is recommended for those wanting an affordable family home with renovation upside. The property is best suited to buyers ready to carry out clearance and updating, or investors seeking a refurbishment project in a commuter-friendly town location.
