Set in a convenient city-centre location, this two-bedroom Victorian terrace offers practical living with clear scope to personalise. The fully tanked basement provides a dry, versatile room for a home office, cinema or storage, adding valuable additional space to the 820 sq ft footprint. South-facing rear garden brings reliable sun into a compact outdoor area.
Commuters will appreciate being 0.4 miles from the train station and 0.6 miles from the city centre, with Admirals Park only 0.2 miles away. The open-plan lounge/diner and modern fitted kitchen create a bright, usable ground-floor living zone; a ground-floor cloakroom adds everyday convenience. Local schools include several rated Good and Outstanding options, strengthening appeal for buyers prioritising education.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property appears to have solid brick walls with no known insulation, which can mean higher energy costs and possible future improvement work. Double glazing is fitted but installation date is unknown. Permit/off-street parking is available rather than a private driveway. Crime in the area is above average; buyers should factor local safety and security measures into their plans.
This freehold home suits a first-time buyer seeking a well-located starter house or an investor targeting reliable rental demand. There is clear renovation potential to improve energy efficiency and add value; any buyer wanting immediate low-running costs should budget for heating and insulation upgrades. Council Tax band C is currently affordable compared with nearby properties.
