Set on a generous corner plot close to Churchtown village, this three-bedroom semi offers a classic mid-20th-century layout with clear potential for a growing family. Two sizeable reception rooms and a rear dining area that opens to the kitchen create a sociable ground-floor flow; the conservatory/lean-to and mature gardens extend entertaining and play space outdoors. Off-street parking is accessed from Lexton Drive, a practical bonus for busy households.
The house is a blank canvas that needs modernisation throughout — updating to heating, kitchen and bathrooms is likely, and some internal decoration and repairs will be required. A fixed staircase leads to a loft room that provides useful extra space but currently has no building-regulations approval, so it should not be assumed as habitable without the necessary works and approvals.
Period details such as bay windows, picture rails and original fireplace add character and could be retained or enhanced during renovation. Practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (unknown installation date) and a substantial plot with established, mature planting that offers scope to landscape, extend (subject to consents), or create a larger garden amenity.
For families the location is strong: several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby, local shops, cafés and transport links are within easy reach, and the area is described as very affluent overall. Buyers should budget for renovation costs and investigatory work on the loft and wall insulation if energy performance improvements are a priority.
