A freehold BISF (British Iron and Steel) semi‑detached home offered with no onward chain — a practical blank canvas for a first-time buyer or investor. The house provides three bedrooms, separate lounge and dining rooms, a ground-floor WC and a family bathroom upstairs. Off-street parking, a rear garage and front and rear gardens raise its appeal for practical, family or rental use.
The property requires renovation and modernisation throughout: internal decor and fittings are dated, and the system-built walls are understood to have no insulation. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown; heating is by a gas boiler and radiators. These factors give scope to add value through improvements but also mean budget for upgrading is necessary. A full survey is recommended to check the BISF construction, services and any remediation costs.
Location advantages include good mobile signal and access to fast broadband speeds, nearby schools rated Good, local amenities and green space. The price reflects the need for works and the wider area's socioeconomic challenges; council tax is low. For buyers looking to refurbish and personalise a home or secure a rental-ready asset, this house offers a straightforward project with clear value drivers.
