This three-bedroom semi-detached home in LE2 offers a sensible, well-presented layout for a first-time buyer or young family. The house has a bright lounge with bay window, an open-plan kitchen/diner, and three bedrooms across two floors, all within a comfortable 1,033 sq ft of living space. Off-street parking and a decent rear garden with outbuildings add practical outdoor and storage space.
The property is freehold and has modern decor throughout, double glazing and a gas boiler with radiators, so day-to-day living is straightforward. Room sizes suit everyday family needs and local schools rated Good are within reach, making this a practical local choice for buyers seeking an affordable entry into the area.
Buyers should note material considerations: the house sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime levels, and external walls are a system-built type with assumed no insulation — further inspection is recommended. There is a single family bathroom and the property dates from the 1930–49 period, which can bring maintenance or upgrade requirements over time.
Overall, this is a sensible, mid-market three-bed that combines ready-to-live-in presentation with clear scope for improvement. It will suit first-time buyers who want a practical home with parking and garden space, and those willing to invest modestly to improve insulation and finish where needed.
