Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Shirley, this three-bedroom semi-detached home pairs period character with recent modern finishes. The living and dining rooms and a bright kitchen flow from the front to the secluded rear garden that backs onto a local park — a practical and pleasant outdoor space for families and small gatherings. Off-street parking for several cars and a detached garage (currently being renovated) add useful storage and future potential.
Internally the house is neatly presented with contemporary neutral décor, double glazing and gas-fired central heating with underfloor heating. The layout suits a young family or couple needing three bedrooms and one large family bathroom; room sizes are modest within the overall 697 sq ft footprint. Local convenience shops are nearby and transport links are good, including buses, Arena tram stop and Elmers End rail station with services into central London.
Buyers should note material factual drawbacks: the property sits in an area judged deprived with above-average local crime rates, council tax is above average, and broadband and mobile signal are only average. The home is relatively small for a three-bedroom house, and the detached garage is mid-renovation so it may require further work before use. These points are reflected in the straightforward purchase potential: move-in-ready for those prioritising location and garden, with modest scope for improvement and investment in services or finishes.
Overall, the house offers a tidy, characterful family home with useful parking and park-facing outdoor space. It will suit buyers looking for a convenient suburban location with good schools nearby who accept a compact internal footprint and are comfortable addressing the practical issues noted.
