This two-bedroom end-link house on Mellanby Crescent is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking value with no onward chain. Set on a corner plot, the home offers generous rooms across two storeys — a large kitchen/dining space, a comfortable lounge and two well-proportioned bedrooms. The freehold tenure and council tax Band A keep running costs low.
The property has practical services in place: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, cavity walls, and double glazing installed before 2002. Outside there are small front and side gardens and a driveway, providing usable outdoor space uncommon at this price point. Broadband speeds are modest at basic levels, while mobile signal is excellent.
Buyers should note the local context and some maintenance considerations. The area is classified as deprived with blue-collar terraces and social renting nearby; this may affect resale trajectory and tenant demand. The glazing is older and may need updating in time; the interior will benefit from cosmetic refresh or targeted refurbishment to maximise value. The property is offered chain free and at an accessible price, making it achievable for first-time purchasers or a short-term rental investment with some improvement work.
