A compact mid-terraced cottage offered chain free, ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable entry into the market. The property has a double bedroom, a comfortable living room and a small rear yard that keeps maintenance low.
The layout is straightforward and practical: reception room, kitchen, shower room and one upstairs bedroom. Gas combi central heating, double glazing and an EPC rating of C give it reasonable running costs. The house is small with low ceilings and modest room sizes, so it suits single occupants, couples or those downsizing from larger homes.
There is clear scope for cosmetic updating in the kitchen and bathroom to add value and personalise the space. Buyers should note the location is in a very deprived area with high local crime rates and the street is in an ex-mining region — these are material considerations for resale and insurance.
Practicalities are simple: freehold tenure, on-street parking only and a small yard rather than a garden. Early viewing will help assess room proportions and refurbishment potential for someone looking to make this a low-cost long-term home or a rental investment.
