A two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace offered chain free and ready for a buyer to modernise throughout. The house is a compact 610 sq ft and provides a clear refurbishment project: structural fabric is traditional solid brick (likely without wall insulation) and the interior requires updating to create a comfortable, efficient home. The rear garden is modest but offers scope to improve outdoor living and add value.
Location is a strong practical selling point: close to local shops, bus links and several Ofsted-rated Good primary and secondary schools, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. These factors make the property suitable for first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors looking for a lower-entry refurbishment to add to a rental portfolio.
Buyers should note important drawbacks upfront. The house needs comprehensive modernisation — cosmetic and likely some systems work — and sits in an area with high crime and very high deprivation indices, which will influence resale and rental demand. Room sizes are compact, and the plot and overall property size are small. Tenure is freehold and there is no flood risk.
This property suits someone who wants a low-price entry and is prepared to carry out renovations to unlock value. Verify all services, appliances and any necessary consents before purchase; the property is sold as a project rather than a move-in-ready home.
