This chain-free, freehold semi-detached home offers practical space and strong commuter links for a first-time buyer or investor. The property benefits from a large, enclosed rear garden, a double driveway for off-street parking and gas central heating with a modern combi boiler. uPVC double-glazed windows and an EPC C rating keep running costs reasonable for the area.
Internally the layout delivers a light living room, separate kitchen/diner and conservatory/lean-to with ground-floor utility potential, plus upstairs bedrooms and a family bathroom. Rooms are presented in neutral décor and the overall size and room proportions suit smaller families or couples looking to step onto the property ladder. Broadband and mobile coverage are both strong.
Notable practical concerns are the conflicting bedroom count in the paperwork (advertised as both two and three bedrooms) — this should be clarified during viewing and in legal checks. The house sits in a very deprived neighbourhood with above-average local crime; buyers should factor this into budgeting and resale expectations. The plot is small and the property appears average-sized with some scope for modest modernisation rather than a full refurbishment.
Overall, this is a pragmatic, affordable home for somebody seeking a low-barrier purchase with immediate use, good parking and outside space. It offers clear potential to add value through minor improvements, but buyers should verify bedroom configuration and consider the local socio-economic context before proceeding.
