Step into a two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace that suits first-time buyers seeking character and manageable running costs. The house offers period features — exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a framed stone wall — combined with a compact, low-maintenance south-facing rear garden. With mains gas central heating and double glazing, day-to-day comfort is straightforward.
Internally the rooms are well-proportioned for the overall size (approximately 585 sq ft), with a generous main bedroom, a single second bedroom and a family bathroom. There is a large attic space offering loft conversion potential (subject to consents) or useful storage. The property is freehold and in Council Tax Band B, which keeps ongoing costs economical.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the house is a period build (pre-1900 sandstone/limestone) and may lack modern wall insulation, so heating costs could be higher than a contemporary home; the EPC rating is D. The immediate neighbourhood sits within a deprived area classification and records above-average crime rates, which some purchasers will want to weigh against the price and local school options.
Ideal for a purchaser stepping onto the ladder, this small but characterful cottage provides a straightforward, low-maintenance home with scope to add value through targeted improvements. Early viewing is advised to assess the property and potential upgrading needs.
