Open-plan living with patio access to generous lawned garden
Ready-to-move-in and recently improved, this three-bedroom semi-detached home on Portland Drive suits first-time buyers seeking practical space and low-maintenance living. The ground floor offers a bright, open-plan living/dining area that flows onto a paved patio and a generous lawned garden, ideal for family life and summer entertaining. A refitted, modern bathroom and double glazing mean fewer immediate works are needed.
Parking is a strong feature: a tarmac driveway for three cars, an integral garage and an EV charging point make everyday life and commuting straightforward. The property is gas-central heated, has cavity-filled walls, and sits on a decent plot in a favoured suburban pocket with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and good local amenities and transport links.
Buyers should note there is a single family bathroom and the house is of average overall size (around 1,000 sq ft), so space-conscious purchasers may want to review room layouts. There is a medium flood risk in the area — appropriate insurance and local guidance are recommended. Freehold tenure, affordable council tax and a C EPC rating add to the practical appeal.
Overall, this home offers immediate comfort with scope to personalise and modest potential to extend or reconfigure (subject to planning). It’s positioned for convenient schooling, shops and travel, making it a sensible step onto the property ladder for first-time buyers or young families.
