No onward chain and freehold ownership make this three-bedroom semi-detached a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers ready to add value. The Edwardian layout includes two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a driveway, all set on a decent plot in a popular LN6 location close to shops and transport.
The property requires renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, remedial works for damp/mould in places, and likely insulation/energy improvements (solid brick walls, EPC E). Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; double glazing is present though install date is unknown. These factors mean immediate investment is needed but also create scope to raise comfort and value substantially.
Practical positives include off-street parking, a garden, and proximity to a mix of primary and secondary schools (two rated Good). Running costs are modest with council tax band B, and the house sits in a city setting with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Be aware the wider area shows higher deprivation and above-average crime statistics, which should factor into budgeting and security planning.
This home will suit a buyer who wants a manageable renovation project with clear upside: create a contemporary living space while retaining period bay-window character. For those seeking a turnkey property, this will not be suitable without planned refurbishment.
