This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace bungalow on Hendon Valley Road presents generous living space and solid practical features at an entry-level price. The property includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, modern family bathroom, working combi boiler, double glazing and a rare south-facing rear yard that leads to an attached garage with electric roller door — useful for parking, storage or a workshop. Sold with vacant possession, it will suit buyers seeking immediate occupancy or rental potential.
The house retains period character — bay window, feature fireplace and original storage — but dates from before 1900 and shows typical maintenance considerations. Walls are assumed cavity with no added insulation, the double glazing was installed before 2002, and some rooms are small; targeted updating (insulation, décor, kitchen) would add long-term value. The plot is small and the front garden is paved.
Practical drawbacks to note: the property sits in a high-crime, very deprived local area and is within a “hampered aspiration / constrained renters” classification, factors that may affect resale or lettings and insurance. Council Tax band is A and the EPC is D — energy performance and security/insulation improvements are likely worthwhile. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and nearby schools are generally rated Good, making this a realistic option for first-time buyers, investors seeking a lettable home, or downsizers wanting single-floor living.
Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential. The combination of low asking price, garage and south-facing yard gives clear scope for affordable improvement and uplift for the right buyer prepared to invest time or money.
