This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Godfrey Drive is a practical family property with straightforward layout and generous outdoor space. The ground floor offers a lounge, separate dining room leading to a conservatory, and a fitted kitchen with pantry — a layout that suits family living and everyday entertaining. A detached single garage, driveway parking and a decent, mature rear garden with two lawned areas add useful outdoor flexibility.
The accommodation is largely original 1960s–70s condition and will reward cosmetic updating: carpets, kitchen finishes and bathroom are dated and there is scope to reconfigure or modernise to improve flow and value. The property has double glazing and a mains-gas boiler serving radiators, but the open fire is untested and the cavity walls are as-built with assumed no insulation, so buyers should allow for energy-efficiency improvements.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, no flooding risk, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local schools include several rated Good and a nearby academy, making the location suitable for families. The surrounding area is a mixed, industrious community with average crime levels and typical suburban amenity provision.
Overall this is a solid, average-sized family house for first-time buyers or growing households who want outdoor space and parking, and who are prepared to carry out modest refurbishment and energy-efficiency upgrades to unlock greater long-term value.
