This 1930s semi-detached house on Allesley Old Road offers a spacious, characterful layout across 1,127 sq ft, well suited to first-time buyers or buyers seeking a renovation project. The property retains period features such as bay windows and solid brick walls and sits on a decent plot with a long rear garden and single garage — great scope to extend or reconfigure subject to consents.
The interior needs modernisation throughout: the bathroom and kitchen are dated, and the house is assumed to have solid brick walls with no cavity insulation. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is average. These facts make the home a practical upgrade opportunity where investment will add noticeable value.
Local amenities and schools are within easy reach, and the wider area is classified as affluent with a predominance of white professionals — a stable neighbourhood for family life. Note Coundon Court’s Ofsted rating is currently “Requires improvement”, though several nearby primary schools are rated Good.
In short, this freehold semi-detached house is a blank canvas: buy for the location and space, plan sensible energy and bathroom/kitchen upgrades, and you can create a comfortable, modern family home in a sought-after part of Coventry.
