Set on a generous plot in Acomb, this three-bedroom semi-detached home offers a comfortable, private rear outlook and genuine scope to add value. The house is presented in liveable but dated condition, making it a sensible purchase for first-time buyers or growing families who want to personalise a home. No onward chain makes a quick move possible.
Inside, bay windows and original features bring character to the front living room while a second reception room, ground-floor WC and useful external store add everyday convenience. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms with built-in storage, a single bedroom and a family bathroom. The accommodation is well laid out with average room sizes for a mid‑20th-century suburban semi.
Outside, the west-facing rear garden is private and lawned, with patio areas, a brick outbuilding and shed. The front garden could be adapted to create off-street parking if required. There is clear potential to extend (subject to planning permission) to increase living space and value.
Practical points to note: the property has an EPC rating of D, appears to have cavity walls without added insulation (assumed), and would benefit from modernising kitchen, bathroom and finishes. Council Tax Band C and mains gas central heating are in place. Early viewing is recommended to assess scope for improvements and extension possibilities.
