Three well-proportioned bedrooms, suitable for family or home office
A tidy three-bedroom mid-terrace in Sholing offering practical, affordable living for first-time buyers or landlords. The house has a cosy lounge, a bright fitted kitchen and a simple family bathroom, plus small front and rear gardens. Its compact footprint (around 689 sq ft) makes it manageable for new owners and low council tax keeps running costs down.
The property is heated by electric room heaters and double glazed throughout; however the heating is not central and may be costly to run long term. The building dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s with cavity walls that appear only partially insulated — there is potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce bills with targeted upgrades.
Location is quiet and residential with good mobile signal and fast broadband, local shops and bus routes nearby. The wider area shows signs of economic deprivation and higher crime levels, and nearby school ratings are mixed, so buyers should weigh community factors against the low asking price.
For investors: the house has been let to the same tenant for over eight years and could continue as a rental with minimal immediate work. For buyers seeking long-term comfort, budget for heating improvements, possible insulation, and routine updating to modern standards.
