This chain-free, two-bedroom semi delivers a ready-to-live-in starter home in Dixon Estate. Recent upgrades include a modern kitchen and bathroom, so the property is largely move-in ready while retaining practical outdoor space for family life or entertaining.
The house sits on a small plot but benefits from a sizeable rear lawn and paved patio, a double driveway and a detached single garage for parking or storage. Internally the front living room features a bay window bringing natural light to the ground floor; upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms with fitted wardrobes to the master.
Buyers should note some remaining finish work and external landscaping are needed: the front garden and driveway require attention and some internal areas show exposed floorboards. The property has cavity walls with assumed no insulation and double glazing installed before 2002, which may affect heating efficiency despite the modern boiler and radiators.
Local amenities and good transport links are close by, with fast broadband and very low council tax helping running costs. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived and crime is average; purchasers should weigh local socio-economic factors alongside the property's strong practical features.
