A compact, well-presented two-bedroom mid-terrace offering straightforward living for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The interior is neutrally decorated and benefits from a recently refurbished bathroom, making it ready to occupy with minimal short-term work.
The house sits on a long lease (999 years) with a very low ground rent (£12 p.a.) and cheap Council Tax (Band A), keeping running costs modest. A private rear yard with a storage shed and off-street parking add practical outdoor and storage space rarely found at this price point.
Built in the 1930s–1940s from solid brick, the property offers character and potential but also some limitations: solid walls likely lack modern insulation and further energy-improving work may be needed. The area is identified as very deprived, which affects future resale prospects and local amenity levels, though local schools and transport links are nearby.
Overall, this is a sensible opportunity for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor looking for a low-entry purchase. Viewings are advised so prospective buyers can assess the size, finishes, and scope for personalisation in person.
