Starter property with renovation potential near shops and schools.
Freehold three-bedroom semi-detached property on a decent plot
An affordable three-bedroom semi-detached home on Wordsworth Avenue offering clear entry-level potential for a first-time buyer or investor. The property comes with gas central heating, double glazing and both front and rear gardens on a decent-sized plot. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and there is no flood risk.
Internally the house has a through living room with bay window, a fitted kitchen, ground-floor WC and a family bathroom. Bedrooms are of practical, medium size and the home benefits from standard-height ceilings and a filled cavity wall construction. The layout is straightforward, making minor redecoration or more significant refurbishment easy to plan.
Key positives include freehold tenure, proximity to local shops, transport links and several well-rated schools within easy reach. Important negatives are the local area’s high crime rate and very high deprivation indices; the house shows signs of needing updating and some garden maintenance. The property is best suited to buyers seeking an inexpensive starter home, rental opportunity or a renovation project to add value.
Viewings are recommended so buyers can assess scope for improvement and suitability for their needs. Costs for any planned works should be factored in alongside the practical benefits of the home’s location and utilities.
