This bay-fronted mid-terraced house offers surprisingly generous living space (circa 980 sq ft) across two double bedrooms and a large first-floor bathroom. The traditional layout includes a sitting room with bay window, separate dining room, kitchen and a lean-to conservatory/utility that adds practical laundry and storage space. A small enclosed courtyard provides low-maintenance outdoor space close to the city centre and university.
The property is gas centrally heated with a boiler and radiators, and benefits from uPVC double glazing. Being freehold with a Council Tax Band B and an EPC C (69), it suits first-time buyers looking for a move-in-capable home or investors seeking a lettable city-centre residence in a cosmopolitan, student-and-professional neighbourhood.
Notable issues are presented clearly: the house was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and no known internal wall insulation (likely needing improvement for energy efficiency). The double glazing was installed before 2002 and some internal fittings and finishes are mid-20th century dated, so cosmetic updating and modernisation may be required to maximise comfort or rental income. Buyers should arrange a survey to check heating, electrics and any latent maintenance items.
In short, this is a spacious, well-located Victorian terrace offering immediate function with clear scope to add value through sympathetic modernisation and insulation upgrades. It’s particularly well placed for those prioritising city access, nearby schools, and good broadband and mobile connectivity.
