A well-presented 1930s semi-detached home offering three bedrooms, two reception rooms and off-street parking. The property has been newly renovated with a refitted kitchen and bathroom, and benefits from established rear garden space with fruit trees — ideal for family use and outdoor entertaining.
Internally the layout is traditional and practical: bay-fronted lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner with French doors to the garden, lean-to with power and an external WC. At about 872 sq ft the house is an average-sized family home; the freehold tenure adds long-term security.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the double glazing dates from before 2002, which may affect energy efficiency. Heating relies on mains gas and room heaters rather than a modern central system, so budget for running costs and possible upgrades.
The house sits in an area with good local amenities, regular bus routes and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby, making it suitable for families. However, the wider area shows signs of deprivation and crime levels are above average — important factors for buyers to consider alongside the property’s strengths.
