This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Longley Lane offers generous living space across an open-plan ground floor and two upper storeys, making it an appealing choice for first-time buyers seeking room to grow. The living, dining and kitchen areas flow together to create a bright, practical family hub, and the private rear garden provides outdoor space for children or small-scale gardening.

The property is an average-sized home (approximately 817 sq ft) constructed in the 1950s–1960s, with double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. The long lease (702 years remaining) and low council tax are practical ownership advantages. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home study and remote working.
Buyers should note material local factors: the neighbourhood is classified as an urban cultural mix within a very deprived wider area, and local crime levels are high — important for consideration when assessing suitability and insurance. The house has a single bathroom and, while service details (such as double-glazing install date) are unknown, some buyers may want to budget for cosmetic updating or modernisation. Local schools include several Good-rated primaries and secondaries nearby, with one secondary rated Inadequate, so school-choice research is advised.
Overall, this property offers practical space, a long lease and low running costs for a first-time purchaser prepared to accept the local social challenges or invest in improvements to add value.
