Set on a quiet Newmarket Street terrace, this two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace combines period character with straightforward living spaces. High ceilings, bay windows and original details give the house charm, while a sensible floorplan — lounge, dining room, kitchen and cloakroom — fits everyday needs. The rear garden and brick storage add useful outdoor and utility space for city living.
The property is offered chain free and freehold, making it a practical purchase for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a lettable city home close to schools, shops and public transport. Permit parking and fast broadband suit commuters and professionals; nearby independent and state schools are a plus for young families.
Buyers should note material points for inspection: the EPC is rated F and records conflict on heating type — a gas boiler is shown in a walk-in cupboard while other information lists electric storage heaters. The house is solid-brick and likely has no built-in wall insulation, so upgrading heating and insulation could be needed and would improve running costs.
Overall, the property offers immediate occupancy with scope to improve energy efficiency and modernise fixtures. It’s well placed for city amenities and will suit someone wanting period features with potential to add value through targeted upgrades.
