This extended two‑bedroom semi offers a comfortable, low‑maintenance home ideal for first‑time buyers or downsizers. A long lounge with French doors fills the ground floor with light and leads directly to an enclosed rear garden, while a separate dining room and modern fitted kitchen provide practical everyday living space.
The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and an attractive white bathroom suite. Outside there is a block‑paved hardstand providing off‑street parking and a modest lawned rear garden with patio and storage — manageable outdoor space suited to those wanting easy upkeep rather than large grounds.
Practical considerations are straightforward: freehold tenure, council tax is very low, and the property sits in a small‑town location with good mobile signal and nearby schools. Energy performance is EPC band D and broadband speeds in the area are reported slow, which may matter if you work from home. The wider area shows signs of economic challenge, and while crime is average, buyers should factor local context into their decision.
Overall this is a well‑presented mid‑market home offering immediate move‑in comfort and realistic scope for improvement. It will suit buyers seeking an affordable, ready‑to‑live‑in house with modest outdoor space; investors or renovators should note limited uplift potential without further extension or modernisation.
