This mid-terrace three-bedroom home on Packington Avenue offers straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or small family. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, utility with downstairs WC, and a large family bathroom — practical spaces ready for everyday living.
Features such as double glazing, gas central heating and a rear garage with decent-size garden add real usability and long-term value. The property’s mid-20th-century character — bay window and fireplace — gives scope to create a comfortable, characterful home while keeping renovation budgets moderate.
The house does need updating: some rooms show dated décor and fittings and the overall finish requires modernisation. Buyers should budget for cosmetic works and possibly more extensive improvements; services and appliances have not been tested and an independent survey is recommended.
Location strengths and weaknesses are clear. The property sits in an area with good transport links and nearby schools rated Good, but the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and significant local deprivation. This makes the house a budget-friendly entry point into the area with potential for improvement, but buyers should weigh personal priorities and security considerations.
