This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Canterbury Avenue offers practical family living with low-maintenance outdoor space and off-street parking. The house delivers a long dual-aspect lounge, a separate dining room, and a conservatory/playroom — useful flexible space for children or home working. The rear garden is landscaped with artificial lawn and a generous paved seating area, making it easy to enjoy outside time without heavy upkeep.
The home is traditionally laid out across an average-sized 886 sq ft, with a kitchen/breakfast room, modern bathroom, and a handy utility/cloakroom downstairs. Double glazing and a mains gas boiler provide everyday comfort and efficient heating. There is loft access (partially boarded) for additional storage and potential future conversion subject to checks.
Notable practical drawbacks are clear: the property sits in a deprived area with above-average crime statistics and mixed local school ratings, which may concern some buyers. The house is a system-built mid-20th-century construction with assumed no wall insulation, so buyers should expect energy-efficiency improvements and possible remedial work. The plot is small and the build era may limit extension options without planning checks.
Overall, this freehold terraced house suits buyers wanting an affordable, move-in-ready family home with scope to improve energy efficiency and add value. It will particularly appeal to first-time buyers or families seeking straightforward accommodation with low garden maintenance and good local transport links.
