Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Shaw, this chain-free three-bedroom townhouse offers a compact, practical home for a young family. The property benefits from an allocated parking space, a low-maintenance private garden with artificial turf, and pleasant open views from the upper floors. The long lease (999 years from 1973, c.946 years remaining) and minimal ground rent (£15.50pa) reduce ongoing tenure costs, while EPC C and mains gas central heating provide reasonable running efficiency.
Internally the layout is traditional and efficient: entrance hall, lounge, modern dining kitchen, three bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom. At about 634 sq ft the overall size is small, so the house suits buyers needing a manageable family home or an affordable step onto the property ladder. Local schools, bus links and the nearby metro-link make daily travel straightforward.
Buyers should note the compact room sizes and single bathroom — space is limited compared with larger family homes. While the listing describes the property as well presented, some external and internal elements may benefit from updating to reflect personal taste or to maximise resale value. The neighbourhood is very low in crime and part of a suburban residential area, but the wider area has pockets of deprivation which may affect longer-term resale dynamics.
Overall this property is a practical, low-cost entry for families or first-time buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in house with very long lease terms, resident parking and low running costs, located close to schools and transport links in Shaw.
