A traditional three-bedroom semi-detached home on Park Drive, offered chain-free and ready for someone to modernise. Built around 1930, the property keeps original features such as picture rails, original doors and an open fire in the lounge, giving scope to restore character while improving layouts and finishes. The house is modest in size (approximately 598 sq ft) with two reception rooms, a kitchen and a first-floor bathroom — suited to a first-time buyer, DIY enthusiast or small-scale investor.
Outside there are small paved front and rear gardens, an outhouse with an outside WC and shared side access. The plot is small and on-street parking is limited; there is potential to improve the garden but outdoor space is not generous. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators and the property has filled cavity walls.
Important negatives are clear: the property needs renovation throughout (kitchen, bathroom and general modernisation) and internal space is compact. The area scores as more deprived locally, and some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted results; however transport links are strong with good road and rail access and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax banding is low, and the freehold tenure plus no upward chain simplifies purchase for buyers prepared to carry out works.
