This two-bedroom end-of-terrace in Chain Lane offers a straightforward, move-in-ready option for a first-time buyer. The large open-plan lounge/dining room is bright with dual aspect windows, and the kitchen, replaced three years ago, opens directly to a well-tended rear garden with double gated access and external power. There is no onward chain and the property is freehold.
Both bedrooms are doubles (main bedroom with fitted storage) and the first-floor shower room has been redecorated, meaning minimal immediate work is required. Practical benefits include fast broadband, very low local crime, immediate access to frequent bus routes and proximity to a range of shops and good primary schools.
Considerations are factual: the plot is small and the overall property is average sized at 664 sq ft, so space is limited compared with larger family homes. The wider area shows signs of deprivation and some nearby secondary schools have lower Ofsted ratings. Mobile signal is average. These realities are reflected in the accessible price and very low council tax banding.
For a buyer seeking an affordable, manageable first home with gardens front and back, this property presents clear value. There is scope to personalise and add value over time, while benefiting from convenient transport links and nearby schooling.
