Set on a quiet no-through road in Abbeymead, this two-bedroom semi-detached home offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for first-time buyers. The layout includes a generous living room, kitchen/diner and an enclosed rear garden with side access — practical everyday spaces for a small household.
Key practical benefits include off-road parking, UPVC double glazing and mains gas central heating. The property is compact at about 549 sq ft, so it offers manageable running and maintenance for someone buying their first home or a landlord seeking a simple let-ready asset.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the house dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and the cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, so upgrading thermal performance could be beneficial. Flood risk is rated medium locally and the EPC has previously been D; further energy improvements may be required to reduce bills and carbon output.
Overall this is a practical, affordable entry onto the property ladder in a very low-crime, well-served neighbourhood close to primary schools and local amenities. The small plot and compact rooms suit buyers prioritising location and low-maintenance living rather than large family space.
