This semi‑detached three-bedroom home on St. Francis Boulevard offers practical living across about 926 sq ft and is offered freehold. The layout includes a generous kitchen, living room with bay window, conservatory and a downstairs WC—useful for families and first‑time buyers. Off‑street parking and an enclosed rear garden add everyday convenience, and mains gas central heating keeps running costs typical for its era. Council tax band A keeps ongoing costs low.
The property is structurally typical of mid‑20th century construction with filled cavity walls and double glazing installed before 2002. It is described as ready to move into, but buyers should note some features date from the original build and may benefit from cosmetic updating. There is clear potential to improve living spaces or increase value with modernisation to kitchen, bathroom fittings and some finishes.
Location strengths include good public transport links, nearby shops and several primary and secondary schools (most rated Good). Flooding risk is low and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong. However, the wider area is classified as very deprived with higher crime levels; this is a material local factor for families and investors to consider when assessing suitability and insurance or rental prospects.
Suitable purchasers will include first‑time buyers, growing families seeking practical accommodation and investors looking for a manageable tenancy property in a well‑connected suburb. Viewings will show a tidy, functional home with renovation upside; professional surveys are recommended to confirm the condition of services and structure.
