This traditional 1930s semi offers affordable family living with clear scope to add value. Three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a kitchen provide a practical layout for everyday life, while a single family bathroom includes a large walk-in shower. The house is liveable but in need of modernisation — a chance to tailor finishes and improve energy efficiency.
The stand-out asset is the very large rear garden, accessed via double wooden gates, and a single garage plus carport to the side. The driveway gives convenient off-street parking. The property sits in a low-crime area with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, useful for modern family routines and home working.
Notable practical points: the home is freehold and has mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators. Windows are double glazed though install date is unknown. The cavity walls are as-built with no insulation assumed, so adding insulation and modern heating controls would reduce running costs and increase comfort.
Drawbacks are straightforward and factual: the property needs renovation throughout, internal fixtures and finishes are dated, and the rear garden is overgrown and will need clearance and ongoing maintenance. There is a single bathroom for three bedrooms. Buyers should budget for modernisation and potential insulation work.
For families seeking strong local schools and a sizeable garden, or for buyers wanting a renovation project with clear upside, this home represents good value in DL1. At the advertised price, it suits those ready to invest time and money to unlock its potential.
