This three-bedroom terraced house on Allington Drive offers a practical, chain-free opportunity for first-time buyers seeking space and transport convenience. The ground floor provides a generous lounge with bay window, separate dining area and a kitchen that opens to an enclosed rear garden — a comfortable layout for everyday family life.
Outside, a front driveway and rear access add real convenience in this suburban setting. The garden includes a powered outbuilding well suited as a home office or hobby space. Local amenities, Broomhill Park and several good primary and secondary schools are within walking distance, while the A2/M2 links make commuting straightforward.
The property dates from the mid-20th century and will suit someone prepared to update and personalise. There is no onward chain, it is freehold and council tax is described as affordable. Practical considerations: the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, the double glazing was installed before 2002 and some general refurbishment is likely to be needed to modern standards.
Overall this is a sensible starter-home with scope to add value through modernisation and insulation upgrades. Buyers wanting ready-to-move-in condition should factor refurbishment costs into their budget, but for those happy to improve a property, it represents an accessible entry into a very convenient and well-served neighbourhood.
