Three bedrooms with two reception rooms and conservatory
Large driveway with off-street parking for up to four cars
Decent rear garden, low-maintenance and private

Solid brick walls likely uninsulated — insulation upgrade advised
Single family bathroom; limited bathroom facilities
High local crime and very deprived area—consider insurance and rental risks
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Old Fallings Lane offers solid bones and clear scope to add value. Set on a decent plot with a large driveway and low-maintenance garden, the layout includes two reception rooms, a conservatory and a practical kitchen — useful for immediate occupation while you plan improvements.
The property requires modernisation: roofing shows external damage in places and the building is likely uninsulated solid brick, so upgrading insulation, windows (unknown double‑glazing age) and finishes will be needed. There is a single family bathroom and general cosmetic updating throughout; buyers should budget for renovation work rather than a turnkey move.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The house sits in a major conurbation with several good local primary and secondary schools nearby, making it suitable for local families or investors seeking rental demand. Note the area has high crime and high deprivation indicators—factor this into mortgage, insurance and rental considerations.
For buyers looking to add value, the plot and layout offer potential: conservatory space, scope for internal refit, and possible garage or parking improvements. This is a straightforward purchase for a buyer prepared to renovate to modern standards or an investor targeting a renovation-and-rent/refurbish-and-sell strategy.
