This compact two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage offers a sensible entry into Fulwell’s market for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property is freehold with gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a small rear yard — practical features for everyday living and rental demand.
Internally the footprint is modest (approximately 542 sqft) with a single reception room, separate kitchen and one bathroom. The layout is straightforward and the house is well-proportioned for its size, but the finish is dated and will benefit from cosmetic updating; the hallway shows signs of possible mould which should be investigated and remedied.
Constructed between 1900–1929 with cavity brick walls likely uninsulated, the cottage has solid potential to add value through targeted improvements (insulation, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and redecoration). EPC rating D and Council Tax Band A keep running costs relatively low, supporting rental appeal or affordable homeownership.
Location is a genuine selling point: easy reach of the seafront, local amenities and good primary and secondary schools. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the area records low crime — useful positives for families and tenants. Overall, this is a modest but well-located property that rewards practical refurbishment.
