Two-bedroom Victorian terraced cottage, approx. 499 sq ft
A compact, well-presented two-bedroom Victorian terraced cottage tucked on a quiet street near the Coppice. The house is offered with a long lease (999 years from 1853, c. 827 years remaining), low ground rent (£33pa) and very cheap council tax (Band A), making it attractive for first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into the market.
Internally the property is tidy and move-in ready: a neutral living room, a modern kitchen with contemporary units and integrated electric cooker, and a first-floor bathroom with a three-piece suite and shower. The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes; the second bedroom is a single. The home benefits from double glazing (install date unknown) and mains gas central heating via a boiler and radiators. EPC reported as C.
The location is a real strength: quiet residential streets with pleasant walking routes along the Coppice, good local schools (including an Outstanding primary), and quick vehicle links to the M65 and A56. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and there is no flooding risk for the area.
Buyers should note the property’s small overall size (approx. 499 sq ft) and mid-terrace Victorian construction. Walls are likely original sandstone/limestone with no assumed insulation, so buyers wanting maximum energy efficiency may consider improving thermal insulation. The property is leasehold — long lease but with a modest ground rent — and presents limited scope for substantial extension given its size and mid-terrace position.
