This 1950s three-bedroom semi-detached home in Marston is offered chain-free and ready for a family to personalise. Set over two floors and extending to about 948 sq ft, it retains period character such as a mid-century fireplace and built-in shelving, while presenting clear scope for renovation and extension (subject to planning). The southwest-facing rear garden provides afternoon sun and a safe space for children to play.
Practical day-to-day benefits include off-street gated driveway parking, a detached garage, and good connections to local amenities, primary and secondary schools, and cycle routes into the city. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and family tech use. The property is freehold, in an affluent area with no flood risk and reasonable local crime levels.
The house does require general updating throughout: cosmetic modernisation, likely improvements to insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated), and an upgrade of windows and services where needed. There is a single family bathroom and double glazing was installed before 2002, so buyers should expect replacement or improvement work. This is a strong purchase for a family seeking location and long-term value, or an owner-occupier investor able to carry out refurbishment to unlock greater potential.
