This semi‑detached three‑bedroom house on Cotmanhay Road offers substantial scope for personalisation and suits families or first‑time buyers ready for a renovation project. The property features a spacious reception room with a fireplace, three well‑proportioned bedrooms including a Juliet balcony, and a large private garden with patio — plenty of space for children and outdoor living.
Practical benefits include an integral single garage with off‑street parking, double glazing installed after 2002, good mobile signal and fast broadband. Local amenities are within easy reach, including several well‑rated primary and secondary schools, regular public transport links, and nearby green space. Council tax costs are low which helps running costs.
The house does need renovation: heating is by electric room heaters, walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation, and the property will require updates to modernise systems and finishes. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with a higher‑than‑average crime rate, which buyers should factor into decisions about security and resale prospects.
Offered freehold with an average overall size (approx. 894 sq ft) and a decent plot, this home presents clear value for buyers willing to invest time and budget into improvements. For those seeking a straightforward family home after refurbishment or an investment to improve and re‑let/resell, the property provides a realistic blank canvas.
