This two-bedroom semi-detached house on Gainsborough Avenue offers an accessible first step onto the property ladder. Arranged over two floors, the home has a generous dual-aspect lounge/diner, a practical kitchen with adjoining sun room, and two well-proportioned double bedrooms — all set within easy walking distance (under half a mile) of Diss town centre and its rail links.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden is designed for low maintenance with artificial lawn and raised beds, while the driveway provides off-road parking for up to two cars. The property is freehold and sold with no onward chain, so it could suit buyers looking for a relatively quick move-in or a straightforward renovation project to add value.
Practical facts to note: the house dates from the 1980s, has double glazing installed before 2002, gas central heating to radiators, and an EPC rating of C. The plot is modest in size and the property has a single family bathroom — good for small households but something to consider if you need more space or additional facilities.
Be candid about location realities: the immediate area records higher crime levels than average, and some cosmetic updating is likely if you prefer a fully modern interior. For first-time buyers wanting a manageable, well-located home with parking, outdoor space and sensible running costs (Council Tax Band B), this property represents practical value and clear potential.
