This two-bedroom semi‑detached Edwardian-style home on Newlands Road offers a traditional red-brick facade, bay window and covered porch, plus an enclosed rear garden with lawn and brick outhouses. At about 953 sq ft across two storeys, the layout includes an entrance, lounge, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. The property is freehold and offered with no upward chain.
The house requires general modernisation throughout, presenting a clear opportunity for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor to add value. Key services are in place: mains gas boiler and radiators for heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and fast broadband. The solid brick walls date from c.1930–49 and are likely uninsulated, which is worth factoring into any refurbishment budget.
Rooms are compact rather than generous and side access is narrow; the footprint suits efficient living rather than spacious family accommodation. The small front garden and private rear yard with mature hedgerows provide outdoor space and privacy uncommon at this price point. Local schools are rated Good and the area is classified as relatively affluent, with average crime and no flood risk.
For buyers prepared to modernise, the house offers a low-entry price, cheap council tax banding and rental potential in a stable suburban locale. For those seeking a turn‑key home, expect to budget for updating, insulation improvements and cosmetic refurbishment.
