Description

The kitchen has fitted wall and base units, work surfaces, tiled splashbacks and space for freestanding appliances. Upstairs are three bedrooms and the family bathroom, which is fitted with a bath, wash basin and WC. The two larger bedrooms have built-in storage. A conservatory is also noted in the listing. The property would benefit from updating and decorative improvements, offering scope to modernise the existing layout and finishes.

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £130,000, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is priced at £165 per sq ft, around 17.6% below the local average—a strong entry point for buyers looking to acquire and add value. Its practical layout, separate living and kitchen/dining spaces, and usable lounge and kitchen provide a good base for a light, mainly cosmetic refresh. The dated bathroom, some wall and floor-edge wear, and untidy rear garden offer clear scope to personalise the home.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh dated finishes and investigate the localized wall marking before redecorating.
  • Update the bathroom to give the home a more contemporary feel.
  • Tidy and improve the rear garden, including its worn paving and weathered fencing.
