Set on High Street opposite Banks Park, this bay-fronted two-bedroom terrace offers generous reception space and a particularly long rear garden of about 100ft — rare for this location. The through lounge/dining room stretches to 25ft into the bay, and the kitchen includes built-in appliances ready for everyday use. The property is chain free and sold freehold, making it straightforward for a first-time buyer or investor to move quickly.
Internally the home presents a mix of period character and modern fittings: neutral decoration, a refitted four-piece bathroom and uPVC double glazing. Room sizes are practical rather than grand, and the long, narrow garden with outbuildings provides scope for landscaping, a home office, or modest rear extension subject to consent. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and local schools include two rated Good primaries.
Buyers should note key practical issues: the listing records electric storage heaters as the main heating and electricity as the main fuel, yet a wall-mounted boiler is shown in a bedroom cupboard — this should be checked. The plot and internal footprint are small-to-average for a terraced house, and there appears to be no dedicated off-street parking. The wider area has signs of deprivation, so factor that into resale and rental considerations.
Overall, this period home suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors wanting a well-located, characterful property with scope to modernise and improve the garden. Bring a checklist and budget for services/confirmations (heating/fuel, parking) to avoid surprises.
