This recently renovated two-double-bedroom semi‑detached house offers a practical, move‑in ready home for first‑time buyers seeking low maintenance living and good transport links. The ground floor provides a bright open living/dining room and a refitted kitchen with modern fittings; upstairs are two bedrooms and a three‑piece bathroom. The property totals about 653 sq ft, making it compact but well arranged for everyday life.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden is neatly tiered with paved terraces, raised planters and side access, plus an outbuilding for storage or a workshop. The sloped front lawn and driveway add kerb appeal, and the plot is a decent size for the area. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for remote working or streaming.
Practical benefits include quick road access to the M4 (J12), nearby schools rated Good, and local amenities within walking distance. Council tax band C keeps ongoing costs affordable. A 360° virtual tour is available for a full walkthrough before viewing in person.
Honest considerations: the home is modest in overall floor area and the kitchen, while refitted, is compact. The local area has higher-than-average crime statistics and sits in a deprived ward, which may concern some buyers. For those looking for a sensible starter home or a rental investment with immediate occupancy, this house offers clear value with limited maintenance needs.
