This mid-terraced three-bedroom house in Knowle Place is a practical, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers or families wanting a manageable starter home. The layout includes a living room, kitchen/dining room plus small utility, three bedrooms and a family bathroom with separate WC. A small enclosed garden provides outdoor space for children or a low-maintenance patio.
The property is freehold with double glazing (installation date unknown) and a compact footprint of about 1,023 sq ft. Heating is electric via room heaters and an electric fire in the living room, so running costs and potential radiator upgrades should be considered. Council tax is very low, and broadband and mobile signal are strong — useful for home working or students.
The house was built in the 1950–66 period and sits in a neighbourhood classed as challenged with higher deprivation; local crime is average. Nearby schools include outstanding and good-rated options, though one local primary is rated inadequate. The property will suit buyers looking for a solid mid-century terrace to live in as-is or to update incrementally — some rooms and external images have been digitally staged to show potential.
Material positives are the no-chain position, freehold tenure and a ready-to-move-in feel in main living areas. Material drawbacks to note: single bathroom, electric-only heating, unknown age of glazing, small plot and the wider area’s higher deprivation which may affect long-term resale in some markets.
