This three-bedroom semi offers comfortable family living with a large rear extension and a spacious open-plan kitchen diner that suits everyday life and entertaining. The home benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile signal — practical features for modern living.
Positioned on a corner plot (modest overall size) close to several local schools and with excellent transport links, the property is well placed for first-time buyers or growing families needing convenient commutes and school access. Council tax is very low and the tenure is freehold, reducing running costs and giving full ownership control.
Be realistic about the location: the wider area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels and some neighbourhood challenges. The house has been maintained internally but the exterior shows signs of weathering and will need attention. There is a single bathroom only, which may be limiting for larger households.
Overall this is a practical, average-sized three-bed semi with good connectivity and a flexible ground-floor layout. It represents a sensible entry onto the property ladder for buyers prioritising location, transport links and a sizeable living/dining space, while accepting local area drawbacks and modest external upkeep.
