This two-bedroom Victorian terraced house offers straightforward, chain-free entry to ownership in Stamshaw. The 26ft bay-front reception creates a generous central living space, while two double bedrooms upstairs suit a small family or couple seeking affordable local housing. The property is freehold and comes with double glazing, gas central heating and a fully enclosed rear garden.
The layout is sensible but compact: a fitted kitchen, downstairs bathroom and a rear courtyard-style garden of about 19ft. The house shows signs of mid‑century updates and has clear scope for cosmetic improvement and reconfiguration if you want to add value. Buyers seeking a blank canvas can modernise to taste; there is visible potential but some renovation work will improve finish and layout.
Location and practicalities are important: the area has good local amenities, several nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good or Outstanding, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. However, statistical indicators show higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation; prospective buyers should weigh these local factors alongside price and travel links. Flood risk is low and the property is suitable for first-time buyers or investors looking for a rental opportunity.
In short, this is a pragmatic purchase: affordable, chain-free and ready for improvement. It will suit anyone prioritising entry-level ownership or a buy-to-let with scope to refurbish and increase long-term value.
