Built in 2018 and set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this two-bedroom semi-detached home suits first-time buyers looking for a low-maintenance starter property. The layout is practical: lounge, kitchen/diner with French doors to a south-facing rear garden, two first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Off-street parking to the front and modern uPVC double glazing add everyday convenience.
The house is thermally efficient (EPC B, 82) and warmed by a gas combi boiler, helping keep running costs down; council tax is band A. The former ground-floor WC has plumbing in place and the toilet is currently stored in the loft, so it can be reinstated easily if required. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, useful for working from home or streaming.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the plot and garden are modest in size and the property sits in an area recorded as very deprived with above-average crime and within a former mining district. These local characteristics may affect resale or lettings in some buyer segments. Overall, this is a compact, modern, freehold home offering an affordable entry to the local market, or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity for investors prepared for the area profile.
