This three-bedroom semi-detached Edwardian home on Station Road is offered freehold with no upward chain and a guide price of £130,000–£150,000. The house retains period features such as fireplaces and coving, with a practical layout comprising a front lounge, rear dining room, modern kitchen and a loft room used as a third bedroom. A decent rear garden and fast broadband speeds add everyday practicality for families or first-time buyers.
The property shows honest renovation potential: solid brick construction (likely uninsulated) and older systems typical of 1900–1929 build mean further insulation and updating could improve comfort and running costs. The boiler and radiators provide mains gas heating; the double glazing is present but install dates are unknown. There is a single bathroom and limited upstairs storage, so buyers should factor modest modernisation.
Location benefits include nearby rail and bus links, leisure and local amenities, plus one outstanding-rated primary school close by. Drawbacks are material: the area is classified as deprived with higher crime levels, and the neighbourhood profile suits constrained renters and blue-collar households. The house is best for buyers seeking a budget-priced period home to update, or investors targeting rental demand in a well-connected town.
