This three-bedroom end-terrace on Burghley Road offers practical, move-in living for a first-time buyer or small family. The ground floor has a spacious lounge and a large open-plan kitchen, while three bedrooms and a bathroom occupy the first floor. Off-street parking, a front lawn and a rear garden with a brick shed and greenhouse add useful outdoor space.
Constructed in the mid-20th century, the house benefits from cavity walls, double glazing and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The footprint is about 940 sq ft, with a decent plot size that gives scope for modest improvement or reconfiguration if desired. Council tax is very low, and local schools and transport links are close by.
Buyers should be aware of the wider context: the immediate area is classed as very deprived with very high local crime levels, which will affect resale and rental appeal. The property description also advises independent checks — services and appliances have not been tested and the double glazing install date is unknown. A competent survey is recommended before purchase.
Overall this is an affordable, freehold starter home with straightforward maintenance and sensible potential for personalisation. It suits someone seeking a low-cost entry into homeownership who is comfortable buying in a challenged neighbourhood and prepared to commission standard surveys.
