This traditional 1930s semi-detached house on Royston Avenue is a solid, freehold family home with a large rear garden and two reception rooms. The layout — bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room and fitted kitchen — suits family life and entertaining. Nearby schools (Temple Sutton Primary, Cecil Jones Academy) and good local transport links make the location practical for parents and commuters.
The property offers two double bedrooms and a single third bedroom along with a three-piece bathroom. Double glazing and gas central heating are already in place, and the house sits on a decent plot with off-street parking for one car — a useful urban convenience. At around 850 sq ft the footprint is modest but functional for a small to medium-sized family.
There is clear potential to modernise and personalise: rooms retain period features such as bay windows, coved ceilings and decorative plasterwork but will benefit from updating. Buyers should note the solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation and the house will likely require improvement works if higher energy-efficiency is desired.
Practical considerations: the property has only one bathroom and parking for a single vehicle, and the wider area records higher crime levels, which some buyers may weigh against the strong local amenities and schooling. Overall this is a straightforward family home offering scope to add value through refurbishment and sensible upgrades.
