This two-bedroom Victorian terraced house on Wainfleet Avenue offers characterful living in a very affluent Cottingham neighbourhood. Decorative beams, a bay-windowed living room and a working wood-burning stove give the home a cosy, cottage-like feel. The compact kitchen and three-piece bathroom are serviceable and suited to a first-time buyer or couple looking to move straight in.
Practical benefits include a rear courtyard, a useful single garage for secure storage or parking and a loft space with a Velux window for occasional use or conversion (subject to consent). The property is freehold, close to good local schools, shops and transport links — handy for daily commuting and family life. Council tax is very low and broadband and mobile signal are excellent.
Notable drawbacks are the small room sizes and generally low ceilings, which limit living-space flexibility. The EPC is D and the house will benefit from cosmetic updating; there is no flooding risk but local crime rates are above average. Overall, this is a reasonably priced, characterful starter home with straightforward potential for modest improvements.
