This two-double-bedroom end-terrace on Riddings Road offers straightforward, affordable space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The home is offered chain-free, freehold, and has been recently let, with current electrical and gas compliance certificates in place, making it a ready-to-go rental opportunity with a likely income around £700pcm.
Internally the property is neutrally presented with a front living room, galley-style kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms across a modest footprint of about 636 sq ft. Gas central heating with a combi boiler, double glazing and simple, modern finishes mean the house is liveable immediately, while small-scale cosmetic improvements to kitchen, bathroom and décor would increase comfort and value.
Externally the plot is small with a paved front and a modest paved rear garden. The location is practical: walking distance to primary and secondary schools and good mobile and broadband connectivity. Council tax is low, and there is no flooding risk.
Buyers should note material area factors: the neighbourhood records above-average crime rates and is classed as very deprived, which can affect resale and rental demand. The EPC is rated D; further energy improvements could reduce running costs and improve marketability. Overall this is a pragmatic, budget-friendly property with immediate rental potential or scope for value uplift through modest refurbishment.
