This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Riber Avenue offers straightforward, affordable living with genuine practical benefits. Set over two floors, the layout includes a good-sized lounge, breakfast kitchen with utility area, and two double bedrooms — a simple, workable plan for a first home or a small family. The property is freehold and offered with no upward chain, making it easier to move quickly.
Stand-out external features include off-road parking for several vehicles and a larger-than-average rear garden with patio, shed and useful outdoor storage — ideal for family outdoor time or future landscaping improvements. The house has double glazing (installed before 2002), mains gas central heating with a boiler and underfloor heating, and fast broadband, which supports modern working-from-home needs.
Buyers should factor in the wider context: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and the property is small overall (about 517 sq ft). The glazing is older and some fixtures and services have not been tested, so a sensible purchaser should budget for routine updating and pre-purchase checks. Council tax is very cheap, and nearby primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings, adding practical appeal for families.
In short, this home suits a buyer seeking low-cost entry into homeownership or a modestly sized family house with parking and a generous garden — with realistic expectations about location and likely maintenance work.
