This semi‑detached five-bedroom house offers contemporary, move-in ready living with a generous extended kitchen/diner and landscaped rear garden. The modern decoration, uPVC double glazing and gas central heating present a comfortable home for a growing household. The property is freehold with an EPC rating of C and low council tax (Band B).
Layout suits a family needing flexible space: a bay-fronted living room, a ground-floor bedroom and cloakroom, plus four first-floor bedrooms. The kitchen’s open-plan island and French doors create a strong indoor‑outdoor flow to the patio and artificial lawn—good for entertaining and children’s play. Off-street pressed concrete driveway provides ample parking.
Buyers should note practical constraints: overall the property is described as small with compact room proportions for five bedrooms, and there is a single family bathroom. The area scores high for crime and is classed as very deprived, which may affect long‑term resale or rental demand. Some building fabric details (solid brick walls likely without added insulation, unknown double-glazing install date) suggest future buyers may wish to budget for insulation or energy improvements.
For families seeking a modern, affordable home close to several well-rated primary schools and local amenities, this house delivers immediate comfort and outdoor space. Investors may also find potential for rental income given the five-bedroom layout, but should weigh location-related letting risks and any future upgrade costs.
