Buying on the top of Donegall Road?

We're ftb with a fairly small budget and we've seen a house at the top of the Donegall Road. It's a large house for money with a decent garden, and we can afford it. It's a semi detached though not sure when it was built.
We're currently renting in South Belfast but we can't afford to buy here. We're a mixed family - I'm from West Belfast (as it my entire family) and my husband is English. My family think this area is fine but I've lived away a long time and only recently returned and finding it hard to judge and to feel comfortable making an offer. We've seen a lot of other houses in other areas but they've all got absolutely tiny bedrooms and no room to grow.
Any thoughts? Does anyone live there?

Sorry just to add by top I mean the Falls End / St James, not the Village which I'd never even consider as a Catholic!!0

I might consider the St James area, just a little further over beside the Park Centre. Families mainly not renters. Small tidy well kept area. If you are looking in this general location .0
