The ground floor offers two reception rooms, a separate kitchen and a convenient downstairs WC, arranged for everyday living and simple entertaining. A private garage and off-street parking add practical storage and secure parking.
Upstairs are three bedrooms served by a single family bathroom; rooms are bright but present scope to modernise and personalise. The plot includes a private rear garden in excess of 80ft, a standout asset for family play, gardening or rear extension (subject to planning permission).
The property is of traditional solid-brick construction (circa 1900–1929) with double glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. There is no confirmed wall insulation and some updating is likely needed to bring finishes and services fully up to modern expectations. The house is offered freehold and sits in a largely residential area with low crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working and family connectivity.
Location benefits include proximity to multiple ‘Good’ local schools and everyday amenities. Note the wider area records higher deprivation indices; purchasers should weigh local social and economic factors alongside the property’s strong physical assets and extension potential.
