This ground-floor main-door lower villa offers practical two-bedroom accommodation and substantial private gardens to front and rear — rare for a flat of this size. At 669 sq ft with a modern fitted kitchen, contemporary shower room and double glazing, the home is ready to move into while still offering scope for personal updating. Off-street parking and gas central heating add everyday convenience.
Priced at £135,000 and sold freehold, the property is well suited to first-time buyers or young professionals seeking outdoor space and good connectivity; mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are fast. The layout includes a welcoming hallway with storage, a light reception/dining room, a principal bedroom with fitted cupboard and a second double bedroom with French doors to the rear garden.
Buyers should note the wider area is classified as very deprived with outer-city hardship indicators and local socio-economic challenges. The setting is suburban/town with no notable long-distance views. EPC is C and Council Tax band B (relatively low running costs), but prospective purchasers should verify local amenity and transport priorities for their needs.
Overall this property represents affordable entry into Gorebridge with substantial outside space and practical interiors. It will appeal to those prioritising garden space, parking and a move-in-ready home while accepting the broader local area challenges and potential opportunity to further modernise to personal taste.
