This immaculate two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Bowes Street offers a ready-to-move-in home with period bones and modern finishes. The property benefits from a brand-new roof, recent combi boiler, double glazing and a bright south-facing rear yard — practical features that reduce near-term maintenance and make the house comfortable from day one.
Internally the layout suits a first-time buyer or small household: a generous main reception, flexible second reception/dining room, well-fitted kitchen, modern bathroom and a third-floor room currently used as an office or storage. At about 819 sq ft, the accommodation feels compact but well arranged, and the second-floor Velux room adds useful flexible space.
Buyers should note material area factors: the house sits in a very deprived neighbourhood with very high local crime rates and a constrained renters profile. The property was built before 1900 with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation; combined with an EPC rating of D this means running costs and heat loss may be higher than modern standards. The rear plot is very small, limiting garden use or extension potential.
Overall this is a tidy, low-maintenance freehold home priced attractively for purchasers wanting a move-in-ready Victorian terrace. It will particularly suit first-time buyers seeking compact, affordable ownership or investors targeting a straightforward let — provided they are comfortable with the wider area characteristics and potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
