Starter purchase in well-connected Dallow area, close to shops and schools.
Chain-free Victorian mid-terrace, freehold ownership
This chain-free Victorian mid-terrace offers an affordable entry point to the LU1 market. With two reception rooms and two double bedrooms across compact 571 sq ft, it suits first-time buyers wanting a starter home or investors seeking easy-let potential.
Built c.1900–1929 from solid brick with external insulation, the property benefits from double glazing added after 2002 and mains gas boiler heating. A low-maintenance rear garden and on-street parking make upkeep straightforward. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
The location is practical: local shops, takeaway and trade amenities are nearby, and several primary schools rated Good are within walking distance. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs for an occupier or tenant.
Be realistic about the context and size: the house sits in a deprived area with above-average crime rates and a small plot. The accommodation is compact and presented in basic condition, so buyers should budget for modernisation if they want an upgraded finish or higher rental yield.
