This bay-fronted semi-detached house on Hawcoat Lane offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a large reception room, set in a sought-after residential neighbourhood near several highly rated local schools. The off-street driveway and rear garden provide practical outdoor space for a family, while gas central heating and double glazing give a comfortable baseline for daily living.
The house is a clear renovation opportunity: many internal finishes are dated and the property requires modernization throughout. Roof and external brickwork show period character but need attention; cavity walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC is band D. Buyers should factor in updating the kitchen, bathroom and some structural/roof works to bring the home up to contemporary standards.
For owner-occupiers the layout and location suit family life — good schools, low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Investors will also find potential for uplift after refurbishment, given the modest footprint, freehold tenure and the property's appeal to local families. Council Tax band C and no flood risk are practical advantages that support mid-range running costs.
Overall, this property rewards hands-on buyers who want character and scope to add value. It is best suited to those prepared for a modernization project rather than move-in-ready purchasers. Clear planning of renovation priorities (roof, insulation, kitchen and bathroom) will unlock the full potential of this period home.
