This four-bedroom end-of-terrace on Rectory Park Drive is arranged over two floors and presented in good order by the current owner. The layout suits family life: a long front lounge linking to a dining room with French doors, a modern fitted kitchen with garden access, and a ground-floor cloakroom for daily convenience. The master bedroom includes an en-suite and three additional bedrooms provide flexible sleeping or workspace.
Outside, the house has neat kerb appeal, a private driveway with dropped kerb for off-street parking and a small, private rear garden with side gated access — practical for children and pets. The property was constructed in the early 20th century and retains solid brick walls and double glazing installed before 2002; these are serviceable but may benefit from targeted upgrades (wall insulation, newer glazing) to improve comfort and efficiency.
Practical location advantages include proximity to local shops, bus routes and the train station, plus several well-regarded primary and secondary schools within easy reach — factors that suit commuting families. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working or study.
Important cautions are factual: the local area records very high crime levels and is described as very deprived, which will concern some buyers and affect long-term desirability. Some room measurements supplied appear inconsistent and should be verified. The property is freehold and, while well maintained, older construction and previously installed glazing mean buyers should allow for potential energy-efficiency and maintenance improvements.
