This two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace on Raby Terrace is a low-cost purchase for buyers ready to complete a project. Offered chain-free and freehold at an attractive price, the property totals about 698 sq ft and includes a small rear courtyard. Nearby schools and local shops make the location convenient for everyday needs.
The house has had renovation work started but is unfinished. There are clear signs that further works are required: evidence of damp, damaged flooring, and exposed wiring. The layout is traditional two-up, two-down with a front reception, kitchen/diner to the rear, two double bedrooms and a single bathroom — a straightforward plan ideal for practical refurbishment or rental conversion.
This property suits first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry purchase with upside potential. The immediate benefits are the low asking price, chain-free status and decent broadband speeds. However, buyers should budget for remedial works, full refurbishment and possible damp remediation and electrical repairs.
Be aware of material local factors: the neighbourhood scores as a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime levels. These points will affect resale and rental values and should be weighed against the low purchase price. Viewings are recommended for anyone able to assess renovation costs and local market prospects in person.
