This spacious semi-detached house offers flexible living across two self-contained apartments, ideal for families needing separate space or buyers seeking rental income. The current owner can convert the layout back into a three-bedroom single house, saving time for a new owner who prefers unified family accommodation.
The property benefits from a large, low-maintenance rear garden with a sizeable summerhouse (20' x 11'6) that has its own electrics, plus abundant driveway parking and a double-storey side extension that creates deceptively generous internal space. Ground and first-floor kitchens and living rooms give clear scope for multi-generational living or letting, subject to any required planning consents.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the building is original solid brick (likely uninsulated internally), windows are double glazed but installation dates are unknown, and the neighbourhood records above-average crime and high area deprivation. Broadband and mobile signals are average. These factors suggest budgeting for insulation/energy improvements and sensible security measures.
Offered with no onward chain and in a popular, family-friendly location close to local shops, schools rated Good, and main road links (A13/A127), the house presents strong potential for a family home or an investor comfortable with modest remedial and planning work. Council Tax Band C represents an affordable ongoing cost for the size and flexibility on offer.
