This extended three-bedroom semi-detached house on Magdalen Road offers a practical family layout with immediate living space and scope to improve. Ground floor provides two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, large 19ft sun room and a handy downstairs WC, while the first floor houses three bedrooms, a family bathroom and access to a useful loft room. The property benefits from gas central heating, mainly double glazing and a fully enclosed rear garden.
The home is well-located for family life: local primary and secondary schools (including a nearby outstanding UTC) and everyday amenities are within easy reach, and the plot suits buyers seeking an urban family house or an investor looking for rental demand. The loft room and 34ft rear garden create straightforward possibilities for modest extension or upstairs conversion, subject to planning.
Buyers should note a few material points: the rear reception room is described with a single-glazed window, suggesting not all windows are original double glazing; the garden and plot are modest in size; and the wider area records above-average crime levels. The interior presents practical, period features but would benefit from updating to achieve modern energy and aesthetic standards.
Overall this is a large-feeling, conventional family home with character features and clear potential for value-adding improvements. It suits buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in property with further scope to refurbish, extend or optimise as an investment.
