A deceptively spacious two-bedroom mid-terrace on James Street offering generous room proportions across 1,048 sq ft. The house combines period character — stone facade, decorative mouldings and high ceilings in parts — with contemporary fittings such as a four-piece bathroom, uPVC double glazing and gas central heating. The layout includes two reception rooms, a bright fitted kitchen and a small rear yard opening onto an alleyway.
The property is presented in good order and suits a buyer seeking a roomy town-centre home or a first purchase with immediate move-in potential. Practical benefits include an exceptionally long lease (874 years), fast broadband and very low council tax, plus proximity to local shops, bus links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools.
Notable considerations: the wider area is relatively deprived with above-average recorded crime, and the original stone walls are likely uninsulated (assumed). The rear outdoor space is a tidy flagged yard rather than a garden. Tenure is leasehold and the Victorian build means some period-era maintenance and updating may be needed over time.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful terrace with space and sensible running costs, appealing to first-time buyers or those wanting a roomy town property close to amenities.
