A straightforward two-bedroom mid-terrace on Bute Avenue, offered chain-free and ready for a first-time buyer or investor to move in. The house has gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and an EPC rating of C, keeping running costs reasonable. A block-paved drive provides off-street parking and an enclosed rear garden offers private outdoor space.
Internally the layout is traditional and efficient: lounge, generous kitchen/diner and shower room to the ground floor, with two double bedrooms above. The property is average in size (approximately 634 sq ft) and will suit a single occupant, couple or small family looking for an affordable starter home. Some rooms will benefit from cosmetic updating — the living room and kitchen show dated finishes and redecoration is needed.
Practical points to note: the tenure is leasehold with about 90 years remaining and a ground rent currently shown as £10. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing costs low. The wider neighbourhood is an urban area with excellent mobile and broadband coverage, good local schools and public transport links, but the locality scores as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth compared with more affluent areas.
For investors the property’s size, chain-free status and local rental demand make it straightforward to let. For first-time buyers it presents an affordable entry with clear scope to add value through modest refurbishment. Be aware of the limited lease term and the need for some cosmetic works when considering purchase offers.
