Set on a corner plot in Lockwood, this two-bedroom semi offers chain-free purchase and vacant possession — attractive to first-time buyers, young families or investors. The layout includes a separate lounge, generous kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom; many rooms retain original mid‑20th‑century features. Outside there are lawned gardens to both front and rear and a flagged patio area for outdoor use.
The property presents clear potential for improvement and possible further development of the corner plot (subject to planning consent). Gas central heating, double glazing and an Energy Rating of D provide a practical base, but the interior requires modernization throughout: dated decor, an older coal-effect gas fire and some signs that could indicate damp or mould in places. Cavity walls are recorded as built with no insulation (assumed).
Practical positives include freehold tenure, very low council tax (Band A) and excellent mobile signal with fast broadband — useful for working from home. However, the local area records higher crime and very high deprivation indices; prospective buyers should weigh this alongside the lower purchase price and renovation potential.
This home is best for buyers willing to carry out cosmetic and possible structural updates to unlock value, or for purchasers seeking a buy-to-let with refurbishment scope. All boundaries and rights of way have not been checked on title deeds; buyers should verify before exchange of contracts.
