This two-bedroom semi-detached house in Birdwell blends original 1906 stone character with a recently modernised interior. The living room’s log-burning stove and stone hearth create a cosy focal point, while the kitchen-diner has contemporary shaker-style units and integrated appliances. The property is compact (approximately 840 sq ft) and works well for first-time buyers, commuters or couples seeking a low-maintenance home.
Location is a genuine strength: walking distance to local amenities, close to the M1 for fast commuting and near several well-rated primary and secondary schools. The rear garden is level and private with a paved seating area, and there is off-road parking leading to a rear yard — useful for everyday family life or a rental setup.
Buyers should note this is leasehold (long lease remaining c.879 years) and the sandstone walls are likely uninsulated (as-built); double glazing was installed before 2002. Crime levels in the area are above average, and the internal footprint is modest, so families needing more space should inspect carefully. Council tax is very low, which helps running costs.
Viewing is recommended to assess room sizes, garden proportion and overall condition in person. The home’s recent renovation reduces immediate upkeep, but the traditional stone construction and older glazing mean future buyers might consider insulation or window upgrades to improve energy efficiency.
