A chain-free, two-bedroom semi in a popular town-centre spot, this 1930s brick home offers straightforward space for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The ground floor has a bay-fronted lounge, large kitchen/diner and an extended rear area that opens to a sizeable garden. Off-street parking and a side passage add everyday convenience in a central location with excellent transport links.
The property is presented in average, dated condition and will suit buyers looking to modernise rather than move straight in. The kitchen and bathroom would benefit from refurbishment, and the cavity walls appear uninsulated (as built), so buyers should allow budget for energy efficiency improvements. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; glazing is double, install date unknown.
Practical positives include low council tax (Band A), good mobile and broadband speeds, and a decent plot with scope to improve outdoor space. Note the wider area shows high crime levels and high deprivation indices; this is reflected in pricing and is an important consideration for families and investors alike. An internal inspection will clarify condition and potential for value-adding updates.
Overall this is a budget-friendly starter home with tangible upside for those prepared to invest in modernisation. For investors it offers a simple layout and central location that supports rental demand, but factor in refurbishment costs and area considerations when assessing returns.
