Set on a generous corner plot with driveway parking and an enclosed rear lawn, this three-bedroom freehold house offers clear potential for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout is conventional and practical: lounge, kitchen/diner, ground-floor WC, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is offered with no upward chain.
The house dates from the 1930s–40s and retains period Tudor-style frontage; interiors are average-sized and show signs of wear, so cosmetic updating will unlock value. Heating is mains-gas boiler with radiators and windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, which supports modern living and renting.
Buyers should note the local context: the area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime rates, which may affect resale or rental desirability and insurance costs. The property is straightforward to renovate rather than move-in ready, so budget for updating kitchens, bathrooms and general modernisation when calculating affordability or yield.
For an investor this presents a reasonably priced entry with immediate rental potential and scope for uplift through cosmetic refurbishment. For a first-time buyer it offers a manageable footprint, driveway parking and nearby good schools, but consider local area factors and planned improvement costs before committing.
