A mid-century 2-bedroom semi-detached house offering clear scope for improvement and immediate practical benefits. The property sits on a decent plot with a lawned rear garden, off-street parking accessed from a rear lane, and a garage potential — useful for families or buyers wanting space for vehicles and storage. Solar panels on the roof reduce energy costs and add an eco advantage. Interior layout currently provides two double bedrooms and a family shower room; the house was originally designed as a three-bedroom, so straightforward reconfiguration is possible if needed.
The home is constructed circa 1950–66 with cavity walls and external insulation, mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), and double glazing (install date unknown). Living spaces are average sized, with a contemporary living room and an open-plan reception flowing into the kitchen, benefitting from valley views to the rear. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the property suitable for home working.
Buyers should note the wider area context: the neighbourhood is classified as very deprived with an "endeavouring social renters" local profile and average crime levels. Those factors may affect resale speed and yield. The property’s condition presents clear refurbishment potential rather than a turnkey finish; any buyer wanting a fully modernised home should budget for updating. Council tax is very cheap and flood risk is none.
This house will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable freehold with room to add value, or investors targeting rental demand in a small town fringe location. It offers practical, economical running costs and a useful plot with parking and garden — balanced by area-level challenges and likely renovation needs.
