Chain-free three-bed starter with parking and garden, near good schools and transport.
No upward chain — ready for a quick sale
This compact three-bedroom semi-detached house on Barnard Road is offered with no upward chain, making it a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or young family. The home has well-proportioned rooms across two floors, gas central heating and double glazing, and sits on a decent plot with off-street parking and a mature rear garden.
Practical advantages include very low council tax (Band A), good local schools nearby including an Outstanding secondary, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal—helpful for remote work or study. Transport links are strong with easy access to the A52, M1 and nearby public transport.
There are some material points to note. The property was built using Wimpey No Fines construction, which can restrict mortgage options and may require specialist surveys. The EPC is D. The house is compact at approximately 436 sq ft and sits in a neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime rates and local area deprivation indicators—factors to weigh when considering resale or rental potential.
Internally the property is tidy but dated in places and will benefit from cosmetic updating and routine maintenance to the garden. For buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area, or an investor comfortable managing modest refurbishment and potential survey requirements, this home offers clear value and immediate occupation potential thanks to the chain-free status.
