This extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on The Mead offers a practical family layout with two reception rooms, a separate utility and a ground-floor shower room. The property includes a garage and off-street parking and small, mature gardens to front and rear — useful for children and pets.
Built in the 1930s, the house retains period bay windows and character features, providing charm and scope for sympathetic updating. The open-plan living/kitchen area is bright but dated, so the home will reward buyers willing to modernise the kitchen, décor and bathrooms to suit contemporary family life.
Important practical points: the property is solid-brick construction (likely no wall cavity insulation), has double glazing installed pre-2002, an EPC rating of D and mains gas central heating. The neighbourhood is in a relatively deprived area with higher local crime statistics, so buyers should consider security and running-cost implications.
Offered chain-free with good travel links and a cluster of well-rated local schools nearby, this house suits buyers seeking a ready-to-move-into family base with clear potential to add value through refurbishment and insulation improvements.
