A spacious ground-floor two-bedroom flat located on Joan Street, offered at an entry-level price of £60,000. The apartment sits within a Victorian mid-terrace and provides an average-sized living space (approximately 786 sq ft) with a fitted kitchen, lounge and a wet-room style bathroom. The long lease (979 years) and EPC rating of C are practical advantages for first-time buyers and investors alike.
The property is functional as-is and represents clear refurbishment potential—solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing with an unknown install date suggest improvement opportunities to increase comfort and value. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; council tax is very cheap (Band A). Externally there is a shared rear yard rather than a private garden.
Location offers genuine convenience: established residential streets, a wide range of nearby amenities, good primary and secondary schools, frequent bus routes and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. These features support rental appeal and day-to-day living for a small household.
Buyers should note material negatives honestly: the immediate area is very deprived with a very high local crime rate, which will affect desirability for some purchasers and could influence rental pricing and security costs. The flat will benefit from targeted updates (insulation, cosmetic refurbishment) to maximise its potential. Early viewing recommended to assess scope and value for money.
