This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Farthingale Way offers an accessible, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers seeking straightforward living. The living room centers on a cosy wood-burning stove and flows into a smart kitchen-diner, giving practical family space for everyday life and casual entertaining.
Outside, a driveway provides valuable off-street parking and a decent-sized, well-maintained rear garden offers room for children and summer barbecues. At about 732 sq ft, the property is compact and manageable, with mains gas central heating, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal to support modern living.
Buyers should note this home sits in an area with very high crime rates and very high deprivation, which will affect local amenity perceptions and insurance costs. The house is small overall and has a single bathroom, so consider space needs if you require more room or additional facilities. Some fixtures, fittings and the unknown age of the glazing may mean future maintenance or upgrading is needed.
Priced at £150,000 and offered freehold with no onward chain, this property represents an affordable entry point onto the market. It will suit a buyer prioritising commuter access (easy links to A174, A19 and A66) and straightforward, low-complexity ownership, while willing to accept the local area challenges and modest internal space.
