Affordable starter home with garden and scope to personalise.
Three bedrooms with separate lounge and dining room
Private rear garden with covered decking and shed storage
On-street parking to the front, decent front garden
Double glazing fitted post-2002; mains gas central heating
System-built 1950s-60s construction with internal insulation
Approx. 894 sq ft — average overall size for this type
Very deprived area with high local crime rates — consider risks
Requires cosmetic updating and potential refurbishment works
A three-bedroom semi-detached home on New Parks Boulevard with practical family layout and good outdoor space. Ground floor living includes a lounge, separate dining room and kitchen, while three bedrooms and a shower room sit on the first floor. The rear garden is private and of a decent size, with a covered decking area and shed storage.
The house benefits from double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and on-street parking to the front. The property sits on a mid-20th century system-built structure with internal insulation and offers straightforward scope for cosmetic updating to personalise the space.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property is in a very deprived neighbourhood with high local crime rates, and the wider area is described as hard-pressed with an ethnic mix. Accommodation is average in overall size (approx. 894 sq ft) and the layout and finishes will suit purchasers prepared to carry out refurbishment or decorating works.
This home will appeal to first-time buyers and families seeking affordable council-tax costs, proximity to schools and transport links, and outside space. It may also attract investors who accept the local risk profile and see potential for rental demand in the area.
