This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Riverside Close offers a roomy 926 sq ft layout across two storeys, a conservatory and off-street parking on a long driveway. The home benefits from gas central heating, double glazing (post-2002) and a low-maintenance rear garden — practical features for a first-time buyer or investor seeking an accessible starter home.
The property sits in a small cul-de-sac and has a sensible layout with a spacious living room and separate kitchen. Recent descriptions note the house is well presented internally, but the EPC rating of D indicates there is scope to improve energy efficiency and running costs. The plot is small, so outdoor space is modest rather than expansive.
Important local factors to consider: the area records higher crime levels and a medium flood risk. The neighbourhood is classed as an industrious transitional area with local services close by, and schools nearby have mixed Ofsted outcomes. Broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent.
This home suits someone looking for an affordable entry onto the property ladder who accepts some trade-offs: a compact garden, modest EPC, and local area challenges. There is clear potential to personalise and upgrade energy performance over time, which could increase comfort and long-term value.
