Affordable, refurbished terraced house ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Three bedrooms in a newly refurbished mid-terrace layout
This compact three-bedroom mid-terrace has been newly refurbished and offers an affordable, move-in ready option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property sits on a small plot with a walled rear yard and retains period character at the front while presenting contemporary interiors inside.
Internally the layout is practical with a reception hall, lounge, separate dining room, modern kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and three first-floor bedrooms plus a handy WC. The home benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing installed since 2002 and an EPC rating of C, helping to keep running costs reasonable.
Important considerations: the house is small at around 700 sq ft and sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime level, which may affect resale values and landlord insurance costs. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, and the property’s construction is traditional solid brick with assumed lack of wall insulation — further insulation work could improve comfort and efficiency.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no onward chain for a quicker purchase, excellent local amenities within walking distance, and very low council tax. Nearby primary and secondary schools include well-rated options such as Thornhill Primary and Timothy Hackworth Primary, which may appeal to families starting out.
