This extended three-bedroom semi offers an attractive entry point to homeownership in B42. The rear extension creates a generous open-plan kitchen/diner with a snug and direct garden outlook, while a paved forecourt provides off-street parking for two to three cars. Primary heating is mains gas with a conventional boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed.
The house is compact (approximately 774 sq ft) but well configured for everyday family life or a buy-to-let. Room sizes suit a couple or small family: two comfortable double bedrooms, a smaller third bedroom/home office, and a single family bathroom. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the location sits within walking distance of shopping and several primary and secondary schools.
Buyers should note material facts upfront: the property is older (circa 1930–1949) with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, so upgrading insulation could be needed. The home is small in overall footprint and has only one bathroom. The wider area records higher local crime levels, which may affect some purchasers’ choices and potential rental yields.
Offered freehold, this property will suit first-time buyers looking for move-in-ready space with scope to modernise, or investors targeting a convenient city-edge rental. Practical improvements (insulation, internal modernisation) could improve comfort and energy efficiency and add value over time.
