Heating is by mains gas and room heaters; walls are original solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) which may affect running costs and future retrofit work.

Local amenities are strong: fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, low local crime, nearby shops and bus links, and well‑rated schools in the area. The house is set in a comfortable suburban area constructed in the mid‑20th century and is presented as a practical, low‑maintenance option for downsizers or retirees seeking single‑level living with garden and parking.
