Set on a corner plot in Walney, this 1930s semi-detached home offers clear potential for first-time buyers or investors prepared to update. The property includes a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room opening to a fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a single bathroom. A detached garage and gated driveway add useful storage and parking potential.
The house retains period features such as bay windows and chimney-breast fireplaces but requires renovation throughout: cosmetic modernisation, improved glazing and likely insulation upgrades (cavity walls assumed uninsulated). Heating is gas-fired via boiler and radiators and the property is partially double glazed. Practical advantages include freehold tenure, no upper chain and low council tax (Band B).
Outside space wraps around front, side and rear, giving scope to create off-road parking (subject to lowering the kerb and permissions) or a larger garden. Broadband and mobile signals are good, local crime levels are low, and nearby primary schools are rated Good — useful for young families. Buyers should budget for works rather than expect a move-in-ready home.
