Local area: higher crime levels and significant deprivation—affects demand
Set on an elevated plot in Penn Hill, this chain-free detached house offers generous family accommodation across two floors and a flexible layout. Large reception rooms and a substantial kitchen with adjoining utility give immediate, practical living space; the sitting room centres on a fireplace and the dining room opens directly onto the terraced west-facing garden. A fifth ground-floor bedroom and small study provide useful ground-floor sleeping or home-working options.
The plot and layout are strong selling points: a private drive, single garage and a series of terraced garden areas create distinct outdoor zones for children and gardening. There is scope to reconfigure the considerable ground-floor footprint and to create a larger ensuite principal bedroom upstairs by combining rooms. Mains gas central heating and double glazing are installed; broadband signal is excellent.
Buyers should note a few practical drawbacks. The property has an EPC rating of E and some spaces—most noticeably the brick outhouse-style utility—would benefit from refurbishment. Cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation. The house sits in an area with higher recorded crime and significant local deprivation, which may affect resale or rental demand for some buyers.
Overall this is a substantial mid-20th-century family house with strong potential for improvement and reconfiguration. It will suit a buyer seeking space, parking and garden in a convenient town location who is prepared to carry out targeted updates to modernise heating, insulation and the utility area.
