• Driveway parking for two cars, freehold tenure

This neat two-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Lower Stoke offers an accessible, low-maintenance starter home with outdoor space and driveway parking. The layout is traditional and straightforward: an entrance hall into a living room, and a kitchen/dining room opening to a private rear garden — good for everyday living and simple entertaining.
Both bedrooms and a modern family bathroom sit on the first floor; the property is compact (around 560 sq ft) so rooms feel cosy rather than spacious. The house was built around 1996–2002, has double glazing and a mains gas boiler with radiators, so heating and thermal performance are typical of a modern suburban build.
Practical advantages include private off-street parking for two cars, a fenced rear garden with lawn and patio, freehold tenure and relatively low council tax. Local amenities and a good primary school are within easy reach, and mobile signal is excellent for remote working or streaming.
Important drawbacks are factual and material: the property is in a high flood-risk area and sits within a broadly deprived local area classification. Prospective buyers should factor likely insurance costs, flood mitigation measures and any lender requirements into their budgets. The small overall footprint and modest room sizes will suit first-time buyers or downsizers rather than growing families seeking generous living space.
