A deceptively spacious Victorian mid-terrace offering two double bedrooms and a long dual-aspect 26ft lounge/dining room. The home is chain-free and presented in neutral décor, providing a blank canvas for first-time buyers or investors to personalise. The fitted kitchen, family bathroom and small rear garden complete a practical layout suited to city living.
Built before 1900 with solid brick walls and uPVC double glazing, the property benefits from mains gas central heating and an EPC C rating. Council Tax Band A helps running costs stay low. At about 680 sq ft the house is an average-sized urban home with good natural light from the large front and rear windows.
Important negatives are clear: the area records very high crime and very high deprivation, which will affect resale values and lettability for some buyers. The solid brick construction likely lacks wall cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern homes and there is potential to improve thermal performance. The plot is small and there is no off-street parking.
Overall, this freehold terraced house suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable, move-in-ready start with scope to upgrade, or an investor seeking a straightforward city rental. The combination of no chain, two double bedrooms, low council tax and fast broadband make it a practical, low-entry purchase — but factor in local area challenges and possible fabric improvements when considering long-term value.
