This well-proportioned four-bedroom semi-detached house sits on a quiet no-through road in desirable Bassett, ideal for growing families who want easy access to local schools, university facilities and green spaces. The layout spreads across three floors, with a bright sitting room, dining area, conservatory overlooking a private rear garden and a principal bedroom occupying the top floor with its own shower room and WC.
Externally the home offers good driveway parking, a partially converted garage for storage or a home workspace, and a secluded garden with lawn and patio – a real asset for outdoor family time and entertaining. Built in the mid-20th century and fitted with double glazing, the property presents comfortable living now with clear potential to modernise to current tastes.
Practical points to note: heating is via electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than gas alternatives and may prompt buyers to consider upgrading. The house is freehold, council tax is described as affordable, and broadband and mobile coverage are strong. The property’s age and room configuration mean some internal updating or reconfiguration could unlock further value.
Overall this home will suit families seeking a well-located, private garden, good parking and easy access to schools and transport. Buyers wanting a fully modern energy-efficient system or an open-plan ground floor may need to budget for sympathetic refurbishment.
