Tucked on a tree-lined street near Locke Park, this three-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home offers spacious living across two storeys and a decent private rear garden. The layout includes a separate lounge, dining room, kitchen, and three bedrooms — a practical floorplan for families or buyers looking for room to grow.
The property is chain-free and freehold, with off-street parking via a shared driveway and a useful outbuilding providing storage and a garden/potting room. Period features such as high ceilings and stone exterior add character, while double glazing and mains gas central heating provide everyday comfort.
Buyers should note a few practical negatives: the house dates from the 1930s–1940s and cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so energy efficiency may be limited. There is one shower room only, and the area records above-average crime and relative deprivation compared with wider regional averages. Some internal decor is dated and could benefit from updating.
This home will suit families seeking proximity to good local schools, parks and community amenities, or buyers wanting renovation potential in a popular town location. With fast broadband and excellent mobile signal it also supports flexible working from home.
