Set on a corner plot in Collier Row, this 4-bedroom semi-detached house offers practical family living with immediate occupation possible — chain free and freehold. The ground-floor bedroom with ensuite suits a multi-generational household or guest suite, while the conservatory and mature rear garden extend the living space for summer use and family play. Off-street parking adds everyday convenience.
The house dates from the 1950s and retains period character, but it is overall a smaller family home (approx. 1,084 sq ft) that will benefit from updating. The kitchen is traditional and compact; some areas show typical wear and will need cosmetic refresh or modernisation to suit contemporary lifestyles. Double glazing is present though installation date is unknown.
Location is strong for commuters and families: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support remote working; several well-regarded primary and secondary schools lie nearby. Practical positives such as mains gas central heating, filled cavity walls and a mature garden give a solid base for improvement. Be aware the local area is classified as hampered/deprived — weigh long-term neighbourhood trends when considering investment.
This property will suit buyers seeking a comfortable family home they can personalise, or investors targeting renovation potential in a commuter suburb. The clear advantages are space flexibility (ground-floor ensuite), outdoor garden, parking and no onward chain; the trade-offs are modest size, likely cosmetic works and local area challenges.
