This modern four-bedroom detached house on Ivy Avenue offers practical family living with energy-efficient extras. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen/diner, utility and downstairs WC, plus an ensuite to the principal bedroom — a sensible, flexible plan for families who need separate living and work zones.
The property is equipped for lower running costs and greener living: solar panels, storage batteries in the loft and an EV charging point on the driveway, contributing to an A-rated EPC. The garden is described as enjoying all-day sunshine and is a decent size with a paved patio and lawn — useful for play or outdoor entertaining despite being north-facing.
Location and local services are mixed. There are several nearby primary and secondary schools (some rated Good; one and the academy require improvement). The area shows signs of economic deprivation and recorded crime is above average, so buyers valuing lower-crime neighbourhoods should note this. Practical details: freehold tenure, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, off-street parking and garage.
Overall this is a straightforward, energy-efficient family home built in the early 2000s with decent space and modern fittings. It will suit purchasers wanting lower energy bills and flexible living space, but those seeking a very low-crime or more affluent pocket of town may prefer to compare other areas.
