This three-storey semi-detached townhouse, built in 2019 by Barratt Homes, offers practical family living across 1,144 sq ft. The ground floor features a wide open-plan kitchen/dining area with integrated appliances and French doors onto a paved patio, creating a bright social hub for cooking and dining. A versatile study/bedroom four and a downstairs cloakroom add flexibility for home working or a growing family.
The first-floor lounge and main bedroom with en-suite sit comfortably alongside two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the second floor. Gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of B help keep running costs reasonable. Outside, a small open-plan front garden gives way to a good-sized enclosed rear garden and a rear driveway with off-street parking for two cars.
Practical strengths include ultra-fast broadband, freehold tenure and relatively low-maintenance modern finishes throughout. Notable negatives are the small plot size and the wider neighbourhood indicators — classified as an ageing rural/endeavouring social renters area with higher-than-average deprivation and average local crime levels. Mobile signal is average rather than strong. Council Tax is Band C (approx. £2,170.51 p.a.), which buyers should factor into costs.
Overall this property suits families seeking modern, multi-level accommodation in a quiet development, or investors looking for a relatively new build with good rental appeal. An internal inspection is recommended to judge room proportions and how the small plot fits your lifestyle or investment plans.
