Summary - 400 Howlands AL7 4HB
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Large garden, driveway and scope to extend for growing families.
Freehold three-bedroom mid-terrace, circa 829 sq ft
This well-cared-for three-bedroom mid-terrace sits on a popular Howlands street, offered freehold with an average overall size of 829 sq ft. The house benefits from practical recent upgrades including a renewed roof and an upgraded boiler, plus double glazing (pre-2002) and off-street parking for two on a block-paved driveway. The large rear garden with side access creates a family-friendly outdoor space and clear scope to extend to the rear (subject to planning).
The ground floor features an open-plan kitchen/diner overlooking the garden, providing a bright family hub. Inside finishes are tidy but neutral, making this a good opportunity for buyers who want to personalise and modernise to their own taste. The property has a single bathroom and cavity walls likely without added insulation, which are useful considerations if planning improvement works.
Location is a strong selling point: walking distance to Hollybush shops, close to mainline rail, the town centre and major routes (A414, A1(M)). Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools lie nearby, including Good and Outstanding-rated options. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flooding risk.
Notable negatives are factual and important: the local crime level is above average, the plot is small, and one nearby primary school has a Requires Improvement Ofsted rating. Any extension plans would require the usual planning consents (no application recorded). Buyers should also factor in potential wall insulation upgrades and the single bathroom provision when budgeting improvements.
For families seeking long-term potential in a Garden City location, this mid-century terrace offers a rare combination of a generous rear garden, immediate parking and sensible recent mechanical upgrades. Viewings will suit buyers looking to live and improve rather than move in and professionally refurbish immediately.
