This compact three-bedroom Victorian terrace offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or downsizers seeking easy access to Leek town centre. Rooms are neutrally decorated and well proportioned, with a high-ceilinged living room, a modern kitchen and a dormer principal bedroom providing useful space across three floors. A low-maintenance yard with artificial turf and decking suits buyers who want outdoor space without gardening work.
Practical strengths include mains gas heating with a wall-mounted combination boiler, double glazing (install date unknown), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold, chain-free and sits in Council Tax Band A, keeping running costs modest. The accommodation includes a single bathroom and an external store that houses the boiler and laundry space.
Be clear about the compromises: the house is small (c.650 sq ft) and built as solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, so buyers planning long-term occupancy may want to budget for insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. The local area records higher crime levels and greater deprivation than average — factors that may matter for some buyers or investors. There are also visual signs in the listing suggesting period properties like this can need attention for damp or general refurbishment in places.
Overall, this is a practical, well-located starter home that balances low-maintenance outdoor space and period character against a compact footprint and some potential improvement costs. For buyers prioritising proximity to amenities, low upfront hassle and good connectivity, it represents sensible value at the guide price.
