Set on sought-after Lexden Road, this one-bedroom semi presents a compact, characterful home with practical perks for an early-step buyer. Original Victorian details such as a fireplace and tongue-and-groove panelling bring period charm, while a vaulted bedroom with Velux windows and an ensuite gives comfortable, light-filled sleeping accommodation.
The house is chain-free and freehold, with off-street parking, a rear garden and private rear access onto Spring Lane Park — rare local advantages for daily life. Broadband is fast, mobile signal is excellent and the neighbourhood has very low crime, making the property suitable for single buyers or those seeking a low-hassle base close to shops, schools and transport links.
Buyers should note the overall footprint is small (about 431 sq ft) and the exterior shows weathering: the driveway is overgrown and there are signs that some attention may be needed to prevent damp. The property is largely original and will suit someone comfortable with modest updating or light refurbishment to modernise finishes and services.
With several outstanding and good-rated schools nearby and straightforward access to local amenities, this property offers immediate occupancy potential and scope to add value through sympathetic improvement. The no-onward-chain sale supports a quicker purchase for a motivated first-time buyer.
