This extended three-bedroom semi-detached home (with a fourth bedroom off the second) offers practical family living in a sought-after Riverview Park street. The double-storey rear extension creates a bright open-plan kitchen/diner with bi-fold doors leading to a low-maintenance patio and lawn — an appealing social hub for everyday life and entertaining. Off-street driveway parking and a decent plot add convenience and outdoor space.
The house is chain free and freehold, fitted with mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). Accommodation includes a ground-floor shower room plus a separate family bathroom upstairs, and room sizes that suit growing families. Good local transport links, the nearby A2 and several primary and secondary schools make the location practical for commuters and parents.
There are some practical negatives to note: the EPC is D and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, which could mean higher running costs and a need for insulation work. The surrounding area is classified as deprived, and one nearby primary school is rated "requires improvement". The property dates from the 1950s–1960s and, while well maintained, will benefit from targeted updating to improve energy efficiency and modern finishes.
Overall this is a sensible family purchase for buyers who want ready-to-live-in space now with clear potential to add value through insulation and cosmetic upgrading. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the extended kitchen/diner and the street setting.
