Large four-bedroom house with garden and garage, ideal for renovation-loving families.

Generous rear garden with paved patio and lawn for family use
Attached garage with electric door plus driveway off-street parking
Needs renovation throughout; scope for insulation and layout modernisation

This roomy four-bedroom semi from the 1930s offers genuine family space and clear potential for a sympathetic refurbishment. Ground-floor reception rooms include a bay-fronted lounge and separate dining room with direct access to a generous rear garden — useful for children and alfresco dining. The property also includes an attached garage with electric door and a driveway for off-street parking.
The layout and proportions are strong: four well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs, two bathrooms (one two-piece and a separate WC), and a good-sized kitchen ready for modernisation. Solid brick walls and double glazing are present, but the house needs renovation throughout, offering scope to reconfigure, add insulation, and update services to modern standards.
Buyers should be aware of some material negatives: the property requires renovation, assumed solid brick walls with no built-in insulation, and council tax is described as expensive. The local area records higher-than-average crime, which may concern some buyers. On the practical side, broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, and the location is walkable to the train station, seafront and local amenities.
For families seeking space to personalise, this home is a realistic project with long-term upside. With investment to update heating, electrics and insulation, the house could become a comfortable, efficient family residence in a well-connected urban neighbourhood.
