This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Machin Crescent is a freehold, chain-free opportunity for buyers willing to renovate. The property requires full modernisation throughout: cosmetic works, kitchen and bathroom replacement, and potential electrical and heating upgrades because there is currently no gas connection and electric heaters are installed.
The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, and three well-proportioned bedrooms across two storeys, forming an average-sized home (approx. 841 sq ft) on a decent plot with a rear garden and off-street parking. The mid-20th-century brick bay-fronted façade and chimney retain some character, giving scope to create a comfortable family home or a buy-to-let after refurbishment.
Location strengths include good digital connectivity (excellent mobile signal and fast broadband), low flood risk, low council tax, and nearby amenities and schools rated Good. The wider area is economically challenged, and local housing is largely social renting; buyers should consider resale and rental demand in this context.
Suitability: this property suits first-time buyers or small-scale investors prepared to carry out works. Essential negatives are the need for full modernisation, electric-only heating at present, and a location in a deprived area — all facts to weigh against the low asking price and refurbishment potential.
