A compact Victorian mid-terrace on Bishop Street offering three well-proportioned bedrooms and immediate vacant possession (no upward chain). The house retains period character—bay window, ceiling coving and a fireplace—combined with practical updates such as UPVC double glazing and gas central heating. The footprint is modest (about 760 sq ft) with a small rear garden and on-street parking, suited to buyers seeking an affordable starter home or a straightforward rental opportunity.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors with a front lounge, separate dining room, rear kitchen and a family bathroom upstairs. Rooms are bright but generally compact; the property is described as having solid brick walls (likely original construction without insulation) and dated internal finishes. Buyers should expect cosmetic updating throughout and the potential to improve energy efficiency.
Location benefits include town-centre proximity, good mobile and broadband connectivity, nearby schools and local amenities. However, the area scores high on crime and local deprivation indexes, and the plot and room sizes are smaller than modern standards. This house is a realistic entry point to homeownership or a renovation project for those prepared to modernise and improve thermal performance.
In short: an affordable, characterful starter property with clear scope for improvement. It suits a practical first-time buyer or investor who accepts an urban setting, compact rooms and some refurbishment to unlock value.
