Comfortable starter home near Cockerton Village with parking and garden.
Semi-detached three-bedroom home with bay front and period character
A well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached house on Nickstream Lane offering comfortable, ready-to-live-in accommodation ideal for first-time buyers or young families. The ground floor has a semi-open plan lounge and dining area centred on a cosy log burner, while the kitchen leads directly to the private rear garden with a summerhouse. Off-street parking to the front adds everyday practicality.
The home retains period character from its early 20th-century build — a bay-fronted façade and solid brick walls — paired with modern UPVC double glazing and gas central heating by radiators. Local amenities are within walking distance, including Cockerton Village, shops, schools rated Good to Outstanding nearby, and Westpark retail, making daily life straightforward.
Practical considerations: the EPC is rated D and the original solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation, boiler/service, or further glazing upgrades) would reduce bills and increase comfort. The plot and rear garden are modest in size, so buyers seeking large outdoor space should note the limited garden area.
Overall this property offers a sensible, affordable entry into the market with clear scope to add value through targeted energy and cosmetic upgrades. Council Tax is low (Band A), tenure is freehold, and broadband/ mobile provision is strong — useful for home working or studying households.
