This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Walnut Drive offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers or young families looking to add value. The property has a practical layout with a porch, living and dining areas, three bedrooms and one bathroom, plus off-street parking and a manageable rear garden. Built in the 1980s with double glazing and gas central heating, it’s a sound structural starter home.
The house requires modernisation throughout, which creates scope to personalise finishes, improve energy efficiency and potentially reconfigure internal space. There is also the possibility to create a garage from the existing driveway space, increasing both convenience and future resale value. The plot is modest but low-maintenance, with a paved patio, small decking area and shed.
Practical considerations: broadband speeds are slow in the area, and the property needs renovation rather than being move-in ready. Local schools are a mix of Good and Requires Improvement ratings, and the setting is a quiet residential estate with standard suburban outlooks. Council tax is low and there is no flooding risk, making ongoing costs reasonable.
Overall this is a budget-friendly, freehold home with clear potential to modernise and improve value. Buyers comfortable with renovating will find a ready canvas close to local amenities, decent parking and scope for modest extension or garage creation (subject to planning).
