More Than Most And Better Than Most For First-Time Buyers. Most three-bed terrace starter homes come with a To-Do list. A bathroom that needs replacing. A garden that's been left to fend for itself. A third bedroom that's not really a bedroom. Not here, just move in and make yourselves at home.

The bathroom has just been installed, with a rainfall shower over the bath, fully tiled and ready to use from the day you move in. The living room runs open plan into the dining area, with a media wall and a gas fireplace that makes the whole space feel like somewhere you actually want to spend an evening. The kitchen is a decent size, with a gas hob, integrated oven, and plenty of storage - functional and practical without needing anything doing to it.

Upstairs there are two proper double bedrooms and a third that is bigger than the single-room-with-a-single-purpose you find in most homes at this level. It works as a child's room now, and it would work just as well as a home office or a nursery.

Outside is where this house goes a long way beyond the expected. The rear garden is fully paved, low maintenance, and genuinely large, with the whole space enclosed and private and set up for year-round use. At the far end, the converted outbuilding is already fitted out as a proper entertainment room with its own electrics, bar, seating and TV. When the sun is out, the paved garden in front of it becomes an extension of the space - somewhere to sit with friends rather than somewhere to mow. Vehicular access to the rear means there's also scope to bring a motorbike, a trailer or a motorhome off the road.

And at the front, off-street parking for up to four cars on a block-paved driveway - something that is genuinely rare on streets like this.

For day-to-day life, you won't need to go far. Moorclose's own shopping centre is about five minutes down the road, with a Spar, a pharmacy and a chip shop for when you can't be bothered to cook. Town is walkable in around 20 minutes, and the buses are frequent if you're heading back with shopping bags.

For families thinking ahead, Westfield Nursery and Primary School - rated Good by Ofsted - is just over 10 minutes on foot. St Joseph's High School is only a few minutes further than that.

If you've been watching Rightmove for a while and wondering whether a home that ticks every box in your budget actually exists - this is a good time to find out.
