A larger-style two-bedroom semi-detached house offered at an accessible price, well suited to first-time buyers seeking move-in ready space with scope to personalise. The ground floor offers a lounge with media wall, separate dining room, kitchen and a useful utility, while the first floor houses two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property is freehold and presented with double glazing and gas central heating, helping keep running costs down.
Outside, the home benefits from a block-paved driveway and a secluded, mature Japanese-themed rear garden with lawn, decking and gravel areas — a private outdoor retreat uncommon at this price. At 762 sq ft and with Council Tax Band A, the house represents a practical, affordable entry into the local market, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for working from home.
Be clear about location realities: the wider area is classified as deprived with an ‘endeavouring social renters’ local profile and average local crime levels. The plot is small and neighbouring housing is typical of post-war suburban streets. Prospective buyers should verify details such as exact glazing installation dates and any history of repairs; the vendor advises independent verification of measurements and tenure details.
Overall this is a rare, affordable chance for first-time purchasers to secure a freehold two-bedroom home with private landscaped gardens, off-street parking and good connectivity to the city, A19 and coast. It will suit buyers seeking value, comfortable living and opportunity to add personal improvements over time.
