An attic provides useful storage or potential conversion subject to planning. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local amenities include shops, a pub, leisure and sports facilities.

Nearby primary schools have Good Ofsted ratings, while secondary provision is mixed.
Overall this home is well suited to first-time buyers seeking character, outside space and parking without a premium price. It will appeal to anyone wanting a period property with potential to personalise, while accepting the single bathroom and modest living-room ceiling height.
