This three-bedroom terraced house on Metcalf Avenue offers a practical starter home with generous living space and a private rear garden. The layout includes an almost 18ft lounge, a 16ft kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory and a ground-floor WC, giving flexible space for family life or shared living.
Built in the mid-20th century, the property benefits from mains gas heating and UPVC double glazing, and it sits on a small, low-maintenance plot. The home is freehold with an average overall size of about 991 sq ft and very low council tax, which helps running costs for first-time buyers.
The house does need cosmetic updating throughout; walls and finishes are dated and the property description notes cosmetic works would improve presentation. The cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and glazing dates from before 2002, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements. The local area shows high crime figures and very high deprivation, so consider community and safety factors when viewing.
For buyers seeking an affordable entry into King’s Lynn, this terrace offers room to modernise and increase value. Nearby schools include strong options (Whitefriars and Springwood High rated Good/Outstanding), and the location has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Investors may also consider rental demand from constrained-renter demographics, but should weigh area challenges and potential remedial costs.
