This two-bedroom end-terrace on Wakefield Road is offered with no onward chain, making it a practical quick-purchase for investors or hands-on buyers. The property is larger than typical for the road, with spacious reception rooms, a low-maintenance yard and a rear garage providing off-street parking or storage.
The house sits close to commuter routes and local train stations, with a wide range of shops, schools and amenities within walking distance. Internally the layout is straightforward: a bright front lounge, second reception room, kitchen with garden access and two good-sized bedrooms above alongside a family bathroom. Boiler and gas radiators are in place and glazing is double, though install date is unknown.
Notable issues are realistic and relevant to budget buyers. The home needs modernisation throughout — dated fittings, carpets and wall coverings — and there are potential damp signs and ageing fabric typical of early 20th-century solid-brick construction with assumed no wall insulation. The area shows higher crime levels and wider local deprivation; these factors affect rental demand and resale pricing and should be considered in any investment appraisal.
For an investor seeking rental income or a buyer willing to refurbish, the property’s size, garage and commuter location are strong positives. Expect renovation and possible remedial works to unlock the house’s full value.
