Chain-free three-bedroom starter home near Hampden Park shops, schools and station.
Chain free three-bedroom mid-terrace, ideal for first-time buyers or investors
Chain-free three-bedroom mid-terrace in Hampden Park — an accessible starter home within easy walking distance of schools, shops and the train station. The open-plan lounge/diner and rear garden offer everyday practicality for first-time buyers wanting straightforward family living or a rental investment with immediate letting appeal.
The house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and benefits from double glazing (installed after 2002) and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Accommodation includes a generous living room opening to the dining area, a practical kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms across two floors. Approximate floor area is 847 sq ft on a small plot with gated rear access and a shed.
Buyers should note the property sits in an area of relative deprivation and a “hampered neighbourhoods” local classification; crime is average. The mid-century cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so upgrading insulation and modernising services could be needed to improve energy efficiency. There is a single bathroom and modest plot size — fine for first-time families but limiting for buyers seeking larger gardens or en suites.
Overall this is a pragmatic, affordably priced freehold opportunity at £225,000 for those wanting a straightforward chain-free move-in with potential to add value through targeted improvements, or a buy-to-let with strong local rental demand given the location close to transport and schools.
