A smart, chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace offered at an accessible price point for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The house is well presented with uPVC double glazing, a gas combi boiler and external insulation helping to reduce running costs. The accommodation is traditional and compact: entrance lobby, lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom.
Practical benefits include freehold tenure, EPC C (76), very low council tax (Band A) and a self-contained rear yard with brick storage. The property’s footprint is comfortable for a starter home and the layout suits straightforward letting or simple updating to add rental value.
Buyers should note this property sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime rates and slow broadband speeds, which will affect resale and rental demand. The house is in a former mining area — any purchaser should satisfy themselves on mining or ground-related reports. Room sizes are typical for a Victorian terrace, so space is modest and may not suit those needing larger family accommodation.
Overall this is an affordable, low-maintenance option for someone seeking an entry-level home or a budget investment property. The chain-free status and sensible energy performance make it quick to move into or to place on the rental market, but location factors and limited internal space are realistic constraints buyers should weigh.
