This 1930s semi-detached home on Prospect Road blends period character with everyday practicality. The red-brick façade, gabled roof and a main bedroom fireplace retain original charm, while a modern fitted kitchen and double glazing provide contemporary convenience. Chain-free and freehold, the property suits first-time buyers or couples seeking a manageable, well-located house.
Internally the layout works for modern living: a versatile front reception room (usable as dining, office or downstairs bedroom), a bright main living room and a ground-floor WC. Upstairs are two bedrooms — the principal with a period fireplace and the second with useful under-eaves storage — plus a separate family bathroom. The house measures about 870 sq ft, offering comfortable room sizes without excess maintenance.
Outside there’s a turfed front garden, side access and a decent rear garden that will suit families or those who enjoy outdoor space. On-street parking is available but there is no private driveway. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal excellent, and the location gives easy access to town amenities and nearby open countryside to the south.
Important practical points: the property sits in a more deprived local area with average crime rates; external walls are solid brick and assumed to lack cavity insulation, which could affect energy efficiency and running costs. Council tax is described as cheap. Overall, this is a straightforward, characterful home with modest renovation potential and good local links.
