This three-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into Shard End with no onward chain — a clear advantage for first-time buyers seeking a straightforward purchase. The house is freehold and set on a decent plot with a driveway and a generous rear garden, giving space for parking, outdoor living and future extensions (subject to planning).
Internally the layout is practical: a porch, lounge/diner, kitchen and three bedrooms upstairs with a single family bathroom. The property benefits from mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing (installation date unknown), so it is comfortable now yet still offers scope to personalise and improve. Council tax is low, helping keep monthly costs down.
Important practical points: the area is classed as very deprived with above-average local crime rates, and the wider neighbourhood is described as a hard-pressed, ethnically mixed area — factors to weigh when choosing this location. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency upgrades if desired. The property shows signs of being dated in places and would reward cosmetic modernisation.
For first-time buyers this home represents value: an affordable price, useful outdoor space and off-street parking in reach of local schools and bus links. Investors may also consider the terraced layout and strong rental demand in major conurbations, but should account for refurbishment and area considerations when calculating returns.
