Affordable three-bed with garden, garage and solar panels — scope to modernise.
Three bedrooms, two generous reception rooms
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Grove Lane offers a practical and affordable entry into homeownership. The property provides two generous reception rooms, a galley kitchen with side porch access, and large windows that bring natural light and garden views into the main living space. Solar panels contribute to lower running costs and the house carries an EPC rating of C.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a single bedroom, plus a modern family bathroom with an additional shower cubicle. Outside there is off-street parking, a detached garage and an enclosed rear yard. The overall footprint is average (approx. 955 sqft) with a decent plot size and traditional 1930s construction including filled cavity walls and double glazing (installation date unknown).
The house is best suited to first-time buyers or small families looking to personalise and add value. There is clear scope for modernization and redecoration; the rear yard and some external areas will need maintenance and updating. Council tax is low (Band A), which helps running costs.
Buyers should note material negatives candidly: the local area records high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and long-term desirability. Broadband is fast and transport links and schools are nearby, but purchasers should weigh location challenges against the affordable price and improvement potential.
