A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace in Royston offering affordable entry to the housing market or a straightforward rental income stream. The house combines period exterior charm with a modern, open-plan ground floor, off-street parking and a low-maintenance rear garden. Its 822 sq ft layout is practical for couples or small families and suits landlords seeking a tidy, let-ready property in a convenient location.
The property is freehold and has modern conveniences: double glazing (installation date unknown), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. There is no flood risk and council tax is very low, which helps running costs. Short walkable access to local shops, schools rated Good and transport links makes daily life straightforward.
Notable negatives are factual: the area is socially and economically deprived with above-average crime statistics, and the terrace dates from c.1900–1929 with traditional solid brick walls (likely uninsulated). The exterior and some internal elements need updating, and the plot is small. Buyers should allow for cosmetic works and possibly insulation upgrades to improve comfort and efficiency.
Overall this is a pragmatic buy for first-time buyers wanting a manageable home they can personalise, or investors seeking an affordable buy-to-let with immediate rental potential. The combination of low purchase price, freehold tenure and sensible running costs creates a clear value proposition, provided purchasers accept the neighbourhood context and factor modest refurbishment into their plans.
