This extended 1930s semi in Western Park combines period character with practical modern upgrades. Original stained glass, solid wooden doors and two feature fireplaces give the home immediate warmth, while double glazing and a fitted kitchen-diner provide everyday comfort for family life.
Downstairs offers flexible living — a front room currently used as an office could serve as a fourth bedroom, plus two generous reception rooms and a bright extended kitchen-diner with skylight, solid wood worktops and two patio doors opening to the landscaped rear garden. Off-street parking for two cars and a quiet cul-de-sac location add practical convenience.
Upstairs are three comfortable bedrooms and a stylish bathroom with a freestanding bath. The landscaped garden with separate patio areas is well suited to family use and entertaining. The house is freehold and mains gas–heated via boiler and radiators.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, and the original solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may mean higher heating costs or future insulation work. Local schools are mixed in performance, with some rated outstanding and one nearby rated inadequate — parents should check catchment details.
Overall this home will suit families or home-workers seeking character, space and garden living close to the city centre, provided buyers are comfortable addressing possible insulation or community-safety considerations over time.
