This 2012 semi‑detached home arranges two bedrooms on the ground floor with an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner on the first floor, creating a bright living level with good natural light. The property sits fronting a pleasant communal green and includes an off-street driveway and a low‑maintenance rear garden. At 734 sq ft it’s an average-sized, straightforward home suited to couples, small families or buy-to-let purchasers.
Practical points are clear: the property is leasehold with 142 years remaining and is offered chain-free, so completion can be quicker than average. Broadband speeds are fast and heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. The vendor is currently fitting an internal door from a ground-floor bedroom to the rear garden, improving access.
Buyers should note the local context: the wider area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and the neighbourhood serves young hard-pressed families. These factors affect resale and rental perceptions and should be considered alongside the low asking price and potential rental yield. The bathroom is compact and the overall internal layout is modest rather than expansive.
For investors, at the current asking price and an indicative rent of £850pcm the property would produce roughly a 7% gross yield — a clear headline for a landlord market. For first-time buyers, the chain-free sale, nearby schools with good Ofsted ratings, fast broadband and easy parking make this a practical starter home if you accept the local area challenges.
