Ideal for growing families seeking outdoor space and parking close to schools.
Three bedrooms and one family bathroom, traditional layout
This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Layton Road offers a practical family layout with clear potential. The ground floor has a welcoming living room and an open-plan kitchen-diner that flows to an enclosed rear garden with a summer house — useful for children’s play or storage. Off-street parking to the rear adds everyday convenience in a busy area.
Built in the 1930s–40s, the property retains period proportions but shows a dated exterior and interior finishes; cosmetic and kitchen/bathroom updating would modernise the home and add value. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiator system and windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). The home is freehold and of average overall size at about 1,007 sq ft.
Location is practical for families: several good-rated primary schools are within walking distance and local shops and bus links are close by. Be aware the immediate area is classified as deprived with above-average crime rates, which may influence buyer priorities or insurance costs.
Offered with no onward chain and a guide price of £260,000–£270,000, this house suits buyers seeking a reasonably priced family home with scope for refurbishment and sensible commuting links. A viewing is recommended to assess layout and refurbishment requirements in person.
