Set on a traditional Victorian terrace, this three-bedroom freehold home offers spacious reception rooms, a small rear garden and clear scope to add modern value. The property is chain-free, has double glazing fitted after 2002, mains gas heating and fast broadband — practical positives for everyday living or letting.
The house requires a programme of modernisation: cosmetic and systems upgrades are needed, and the EPC rating is F. Walls are original solid brick with no insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for thermal improvements and possible works to heating and electrics. The plot and overall footprint are small, limiting extension potential.
Location is a key strength: close to shops, schools and transport links, with excellent mobile signal. However, the local area scores high for deprivation and has above-average crime rates; prospective buyers should factor neighbourhood safety and longer-term resale into their plans. There is also a public notice on the file (offer recorded), so viewings are possible but any purchase process may be active.
This house suits a buyer seeking a project to personalise — first-time buyers prepared to renovate, or investors targeting rental income after refurbishment. With careful updating, the property can deliver improved comfort and strong value uplift in a convenient, well-connected setting.
