This three-bedroom semi-detached home in Thurmaston offers practical living space and clear potential for improvement. The ground floor features a bright lounge with a bay window and gas fire, plus an open-plan kitchen diner that leads directly to a generous rear garden. Off-street parking is plentiful thanks to a T-shaped driveway with a turning circle.
The property is aimed at first-time buyers, growing families and investors who value scope to add value. There is scope to extend, subject to planning permission, and the rear garden presents a blank canvas for landscaping or enlargement. The house is freehold, heated by a mains-gas boiler and radiators, and has double glazing that predates 2002.
Be factual about location: the area has useful local amenities and several nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good, though one local secondary requires improvement. Crime levels and area deprivation are higher than average, which may affect long-term desirability for some buyers. The property is relatively small at about 650 sq ft and has a single bathroom, so space is compact compared with newer family homes.
Overall this is a budget-friendly purchase with practical benefits—cheap council tax, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—and genuine potential for those willing to make moderate upgrades or seek planning for extension. It suits buyers looking to enter the market or investors targeting renovation and rental opportunity.
