This mid-20th-century mid-terrace in a popular residential area offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase ideal for a first-time buyer. The house provides three bedrooms plus a large attic/loft room, flexible living space and a garage for parking or storage. The living room and kitchen/diner are well proportioned, creating practical everyday space for a young family or couple.
Practical running costs are helped by mains gas central heating and a cheap council tax band. Broadband and mobile coverage are both strong, and the property lies close to primary and secondary schools, shops and public transport — handy for commuting and family life.
There are some honest drawbacks: the plot is small with a steep front approach and limited rear courtyard; the walls are cavity-built with no added insulation assumed; and the double glazing appears to pre-date 2002. There is only one bathroom and the property may benefit from cosmetic updating or insulation improvements to improve energy efficiency.
Overall, this is a sensible, accessible home with good space including the attic room and garage, offered with no onward chain. It suits buyers wanting an affordable entry into the area with clear potential to personalise and improve over time.
