A compact two-bedroom semi-detached house offered freehold, well-suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate occupancy or light refurbishment. At about 542 sq ft, the property delivers practical living with a good-sized reception room, two bedrooms and a straightforward bathroom layout. The rear provides off-road parking, double gates and a detached garage — a useful rarity in this price bracket, plus a low-maintenance garden and brick outhouse for extra storage.
The house is in a mixed area with strong local transport links, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it convenient for commuting and connected working. Local primary and secondary schools are within easy reach (Ofsted ratings vary), and nearby shops, takeaways and leisure facilities help with day-to-day life. Council tax is very cheap, and the freehold tenure simplifies ownership costs.
Buyers should note clear considerations: the home is small, has dated internal finishes and visible wear in places, and has an EPC rating of D. The local neighbourhood records higher crime levels and significant area deprivation, which will affect resale perception and should be weighed when assessing long-term value. For investors or DIY buyers, the property offers refurbishment potential that could increase rental income or resale value, but more extensive works may be required to modernise fully.
Overall, this is a pragmatic purchase for someone seeking an affordable entry into the market or a renovation project with parking and a garage included. Viewers should inspect for maintenance needs and consider the neighbourhood profile alongside the home's practical benefits.
