This modern mid-terraced townhouse offers practical family accommodation across three floors, with four bedrooms including a first-floor double with en suite. Built in the early 2000s, the layout is straightforward: kitchen and lounge on the ground floor, principal bedroom and a family/guest room on the first floor, two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the top floor. French doors from the lounge and principal bedroom frame views over the river and nearby countryside.
The property suits families or commuters: it’s walking distance to a mainline train station with direct London links, local shops, a leisure centre and schools. Included garage and off-street parking are useful extras in this setting. Modern comforts include mains gas central heating, double glazing and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal.
Buyers should note clear material drawbacks: the home sits in a high flood-risk area and the neighbourhood has a very high recorded crime level — both factors that will affect insurance costs and suitability. The plot and overall house footprint are small, and the rear outside space is a paved patio rather than a lawn.
For a family seeking low-maintenance, modern accommodation close to transport links and local amenities, this property offers immediate practical living and potential to improve internal décor. However, purchasers must factor in flood risk, higher security/insurance needs and the compact outside space when deciding to view.
