A no-onward-chain, two-bedroom mid-terrace set on a quiet cul-de-sac, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home. The ground floor offers a kitchen to the front, a generous lounge/dining room with garden doors and a handy downstairs toilet. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside is a small but sunny rear garden described as a 'sun trap', plus an allocated off-street parking space.
The property can be bought with shared ownership, which lowers the entry cost but means full ownership details should be confirmed before offer. The house is average sized (approximately 678 sq ft), double glazed (installed before 2002) and heated by a mains gas boiler and radiators. Council tax is noted as affordable, and local bus routes and nearby shops make everyday travel and errands straightforward.
Buyers should be aware of several material negatives: the neighbourhood records higher crime levels and the wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale and insurance. Image notes indicate signs of damp on the exterior; any purchaser should commission a survey to check for damp or related remedial work. Tenure details are currently unclear — confirm whether shared ownership or full ownership applies and check any associated service charges or restrictions.
This property represents a practical, low-entry opportunity for buyers prioritising price and immediate availability. It suits first-time buyers or investors comfortable managing refurbishment or minor repairs. Schools and amenities are nearby, with several primary and secondary schools rated Good by Ofsted, though one nearby primary requires improvement.
