This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Northfield Drive is offered chain-free and ready to move into — a practical, affordable option for first-time buyers. The ground floor flows from lounge to dining room, with a modern kitchen and a handy utility/porch that leads to an enclosed rear patio and two outbuildings for storage or a small workshop. The loft is part-boarded, providing extra storage without immediate expense.
Principal bedrooms are well-proportioned doubles with fitted wardrobes in the main room; the shower room serves all three bedrooms. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating with a regularly serviced boiler, and solar panels on the roof, which together help reduce running costs. Broadband and mobile signal are strong in the area, and council tax is very low.
The house sits on a small plot with a modest front garden and a compact rear patio rather than a large lawn — suitable for low-maintenance outdoor space but limiting for families seeking expansive gardens. The wider neighbourhood is classed as young hard-pressed families, and local crime levels are higher than average, which should be considered when assessing long-term suitability or rental potential.
Overall this is a straightforward, economical starter home with sensible running costs and storage potential. Buyers seeking a low-upkeep first purchase, or investors looking for a city-edge rental with good connectivity, will find genuine value here. Any buyer wanting larger living gardens or quieter streets may prefer to look elsewhere.
