Set on a generous corner plot in a quiet cul-de-sac, this freehold 2-bedroom semi offers practical space for first-time buyers or young families. The ground floor features an extended open-plan kitchen/dining room ideal for social cooking and dining, plus a separate living room for quieter evenings. Two large double bedrooms and a recently updated modern shower room complete the accommodation.
Outside is a standout feature: a paved driveway to the front and a substantial wraparound rear garden with two patio areas and mature borders — plenty of space for children, pets, or future landscaping projects. The property has mains gas central heating, double glazing (installation date unknown) and an EPC rating of D, so there may be scope to improve energy efficiency.
Practical points to note: the house sits in an area classed as very deprived, and local secondary provision is mixed, with at least one nearby secondary rated Inadequate. Council tax is very low and flood risk is none, while broadband speeds are reported as fast and local crime levels are low. The house dates from the 1930s–40s and, although well presented, could benefit from some modernisation and potential energy upgrades to maximise long-term value.
Overall this is a well-laid-out, affordable starter home with significant outdoor space and clear potential to personalise. It will suit buyers looking for a spacious garden, off-street parking and a practical home to improve over time.
