A practical two-bedroom semi-detached home on Balmoral Avenue, offering straightforward family living with scope to personalise. The property is well placed for Lea Green station, Sherdley Park and quick access to the M62 — useful for commuters and growing families.
Upstairs provides two generous bedrooms, with the main bedroom spanning almost the full width of the house. The layout was previously three bedrooms, so conversion back to three is straightforward for those who need extra sleeping space or a dedicated home office. The living room benefits from a large front window and warm natural light, while the kitchen-diner offers a workable footprint and potential for a modern refit or opening up to create a more sociable space.
Outside, the low-maintenance paved rear garden and side driveway parking are practical assets for busy households. The home is of mid‑century construction with double glazing and gas central heating to radiators, but it will reward those willing to update finishes and fittings to contemporary tastes. Council tax is modest and the very long lease (942 years) removes typical leasehold timing worries.
A realistic buyer is a family or first-time buyer looking for affordable entry in a well-connected neighbourhood and who values location and potential over a fully finished renovation. The area shows signs of economic challenge locally, so purchasers should weigh community factors alongside the strong transport links and nearby schools.
