Two-bedroom semi with garage and garden, ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Freehold semi-detached bungalow on a decent plot
This semi-detached two-bedroom bungalow (freehold) sits on a decent plot in Holbrooks, offering straightforward space for a first-time buyer or investor. The property includes a garage and driveway, two bathrooms and a large footprint across a multi-story layout — useful for flexible living or rental separation. Council tax is low and there is no flood risk, which reduces running costs and insurance concerns.
Internally the house is mid-20th century in style and currently dated in places: a fitted living room carpet and an older fireplace are present, and the EPC is a D. Double glazing is fitted but the installation date is unknown and the heating is mains-gas boiler with radiators. These facts point to immediate opportunities to improve energy efficiency and modernise finishes to add value.
Location is practical: fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, average local crime levels and nearby schools rated Good or Outstanding make this suitable for small families or buy-to-let buyers targeting reliable tenants. Public transport links are close by and local parks provide outdoor space.
Overall this is a solid freehold purchase for someone prepared to carry out cosmetic or energy upgrades. It’s priced to reflect its condition; sensible investment in insulation, kitchen and bathroom modernisation would likely increase comfort and resale or rental appeal.
