A practical three-bedroom mid-terrace offered chain free, suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The house benefits from double glazing (installed post-2002), mains gas central heating, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for modern living or rental demand. Transport links are strong with easy access to the A419, bus routes, and nearby Orbital Retail Park amenities.
Internally the layout is traditional and compact: entrance hall, living room, kitchen/diner, three bedrooms and a separate toilet and bathroom. Room sizes are small-to-medium, making the home manageable for a small family or uncomplicated to rent. A contemporary kitchen and tidy facade reduce immediate cosmetic work.
Notable practical issues: the building appears to be system-built with assumed no wall insulation, and the area scores high for deprivation with above-average local crime — both factors to consider for longer-term running costs, thermal efficiency improvements and insurance or lettings. The rear and front gardens are small and low-maintenance, but the plot size limits extension potential.
For investors the advertised 5.7% rental yield and low council tax are attractive; for first-time buyers the chain-free sale and reasonable overall size make this a straightforward move-in or renovation project. Viewings or the 3D virtual tour will best show proportions and scope for targeted improvements like insulation, heating upgrades or internal redecoration.
