This four-bedroom detached house on Cropton Road is a practical family opportunity in a popular Royston neighbourhood. Offered chain-free, the home provides immediate possession and scope to modernise the kitchen and shower room to personal taste. The layout includes a lounge, dining room, cloakroom and four bedrooms, making it adaptable for a growing family or multi-use household.
Externally there are small front and rear gardens plus a detached garage and driveway for useful off-street parking and storage. The property is compact at about 722 sq ft and sits on a modest plot, so outdoor space is manageable rather than expansive. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and council tax is described as affordable.
Important considerations: the house needs renovation throughout and would benefit from updating to heating, electrics and finishes to bring it to modern standards. The local area is listed as deprived and has higher-than-average crime; buyers should factor neighbourhood context into their plans. Flood risk is low.
For buyers prepared to invest in refurbishment this home offers clear value — a chain-free purchase, garage, gardens and proximity to local shops, supermarkets and several primary and secondary schools (mixed Ofsted outcomes). It will suit families looking for an affordable, workable home with scope to add value.
