This newly renovated three-bedroom mid-terrace on Kipling Close offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation at an accessible price. Recent work includes a new roof, repointing and full redecoration, so buyers can expect a refreshed interior and reduced short-term maintenance. At about 959 sq ft, the layout suits first-time buyers or young families wanting separate living and dining space plus an enclosed rear garden.
The home is heated by electric storage heaters and has double glazing installed before 2002; walls are cavity-built with no added insulation (assumed). These factors mean running costs may be higher than modern standards, and further insulation or heating upgrades would improve comfort and efficiency. The property is freehold with very low council tax, which helps running-cost affordability.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby green spaces (forest/wood) and several local primary schools rated Good. However, the immediate area is classed as very deprived with high local crime rates; buyers should consider local safety and long-term neighbourhood prospects when deciding.
For first-time buyers seeking a sensible starter home, this property delivers turn-key living and clear potential for energy improvements. Investors should note the area's socio-economic profile and factor that into rental demand and yield expectations.
