This three-bedroom detached house on Vicarage Close offers a straightforward family layout with useful outdoor space and parking. The property sits on a large plot with a detached garage, driveway and a private rear garden — attractive for anyone wanting outdoor space or scope to extend subject to planning.
Internally the home provides a bright lounge, an extended kitchen/dining area and three generous bedrooms served by a single family bathroom. Built c.1950–1966, the house benefits from mains gas central heating, cavity walls and double glazing (install date unknown). Broadband and mobile signal are both strong in the area.
There is genuine potential here for first-time buyers or investors prepared to carry out cosmetic updating or modest refurbishment. Room sizes are small-to-average for a family home of this era, and the property’s mid-20th-century construction means some modernisation may be needed to meet contemporary expectations.
Buyers should note material local factors: the wider area shows higher crime levels and higher deprivation indicators. Schools nearby include a mix of Ofsted ratings, and the location remains practical for local amenities and transport. The property is freehold with affordable council tax, making it a cost-effective ownership option for the right purchaser.
