This well-presented three-bedroom 1930s semi-detached house offers compact, practical living on a decent plot in St Thomas. The property benefits from a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom, off-road parking with garage, and an enclosed rear garden with a summerhouse/home office—ideal for alfresco dining and working from home. Double glazing and gas central heating provide comfort, and the home is freehold with affordable council tax (Band C).
Internally the layout is efficient rather than expansive: total floor area is around 656 sq ft with three bedrooms and a single bathroom, so it suits first-time buyers, young families needing local schools, or investors seeking a lettable city property. The lounge and kitchen/diner are light and well maintained, while built-in storage under the stairs and a front bay window add period character.
Buyers should note material context: the wider area is classified as deprived (local classification: challenged communities; wider classification: industrious hardship), though crime levels are very low. The house is compact for a three-bed and may feel tight for larger families or those needing extensive living space. EPC rated D, so some energy improvements could raise efficiency.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, mains gas heating and a shared driveway to garage. Nearby schools include several Good-rated primaries and a Good secondary, and local amenities are within walking distance. Overall this is a tidy, characterful 1930s home with garden and parking, best suited to buyers seeking an affordable, city-side family starter or a rental opportunity.
