A compact, recently renovated three-bedroom semi-detached on Francis Road that suits growing families or first-time buyers seeking off-street parking and an enclosed garden. Interiors have been updated — the reception room benefits from a bay window and natural light while the kitchen and bathroom are modern and functional. The property is chain-free and freehold, with space for up to three vehicles on the frontage.
Practical positives include double glazing, gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and a sizeable rear garden with privacy fences and hedging. The layout is traditional and straightforward: living room, fitted kitchen and bathroom to the ground floor, with three bedrooms above. Council tax is described as inexpensive, which helps running costs.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the home sits in an area recorded as deprived with higher local crime levels, which may affect long-term desirability and insurance costs. The overall internal floor area is modest (around 639 sq ft) and there is a single bathroom, so space could feel tight for larger families. External maintenance items are apparent in photos — gravel driveway upkeep, window bars and signs of possible damp/upkeep at brickwork — and cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, which could increase energy costs unless upgraded.
In summary: a ready-to-move-in, characterful 1930s semi with modernised interiors, strong parking and garden benefits, but constrained by its compact footprint and local area challenges. It will suit buyers prioritising convenience, parking and a low-maintenance garden over generous internal space or a quiet neighbourhood setting.
