South-facing, very large rear garden ideal for families or extensions (subject to consents)
Long private driveway providing off-street parking for 1–2 cars
Two double bedrooms, one family bathroom; total c.830 sq ft living space
Separate living and dining rooms; potential to create an open-plan kitchen-diner
Kitchen dated and will benefit from full remodelling
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; may need insulation for energy efficiency
Double glazing installed before 2002 — may not meet current standards
No recorded flood risk; area described as deprived with average crime levels
Set on a substantial south-facing plot, this traditional two-bedroom semi offers a rare outdoor asset for the area and off-street parking on a long driveway. The well-proportioned sitting room with bay window and separate dining room provide flexible living that will suit young families or buyers wanting space to grow. The property is freehold and offers c.830 sq ft of accommodation over two floors, with easy access to local shops, train links and motorways.
The house has clear scope for improvement: the kitchen is dated and would benefit from remodelling or opening up into the dining room to create a kitchen-diner (subject to required consents). The building is solid brick with no wall insulation assumed and the double glazing appears to pre-date 2002, so further energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed to reduce running costs.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, a white family bathroom, two double bedrooms and low council tax. There is no recorded flood risk. The wider neighbourhood is described as deprived with a high proportion of renting households, and local schools vary in performance; transport and everyday amenities are within easy reach.
This home will suit buyers seeking a generous garden and parking in a well-connected suburb who are prepared to invest in modernisation. For a first-time buyer or family wanting outdoor space and potential to add value, this property represents clear short- to medium-term upside with straightforward renovation work.
