Affordable starter home with renovation potential in a convenient location.
No onward chain, long lease (860 years)
Compact footprint: approx. 407 sq ft (small overall size)
Victorian character: high ceilings, chimney breast, sandstone facade
Double glazing fitted after 2002; gas central heating present
Small front and rear yards; limited outdoor space
Sandstone walls assumed uninsulated — upgrade likely needed
Area: deprived with average crime — factor into decision
Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; good local amenities
This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Huddersfield with no onward chain and a very long lease (860 years). The property sits in a popular, well-served neighbourhood with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and plentiful local amenities and schools, making it suited to a first-time buyer seeking convenience and value.
Built before 1900, the house retains period character such as high ceilings and a chimney breast, yet is small in overall size (approx. 407 sq ft). Practical updates include double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. A small front and rear yard provide limited outdoor space.
There is clear scope for improvement: the sandstone walls are assumed to have no insulation and some rooms are modest in size, so potential buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades and typical Victorian renovation work. The area is relatively deprived and crime is average, facts to weigh against the low asking price and cheap council tax.
All major positives are immediate: long leasehold, no chain, good connectivity and nearby schools. If you want an inexpensive starter home with renovation potential in a well-connected neighbourhood, this property offers a practical prospect.
