A roomy three-bedroom terraced house on the sought-after Commonwealth Estate, arranged over two floors with two reception rooms and a rear garden. The front reception features a bay window and the rear reception opens directly to the garden, creating flexible living and dining space for family life. A practical galley kitchen serves the home and a single family bathroom sits on the first floor alongside two double bedrooms.
Notable practical benefits include a detached garage with rear access from Balfour Road, double glazing installed after 2002, and freehold tenure. The property sits close to Valentines Park, good schools (including an Outstanding secondary), and public transport — useful for school runs and commuting. The house extends to about 1,042 sq ft, a comfortable size for growing families.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be costly compared with gas systems, and the original solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, so energy improvements may be needed to reduce bills. The EPC is rated D. The plot is small and there is one bathroom, which may require adjustments for larger households.
Overall this home offers strong location and space for a family seeking good schools and park access, or for an investor looking for reliable rental demand. It will suit buyers ready to update heating and insulation to improve comfort and running costs.
