Spacious period terrace with long lease, gardens and loft — ideal for first buyers or investors.

Two double bedrooms plus large loft room with Velux window
Front and rear gardens; low-maintenance rear with shed
Long lease (880 years) and very low ground rent (£12 p.a.)
Mains gas boiler and radiators; double glazing (install date unknown)
Solid stone walls likely uninsulated — budget for insulation work
Located in very high crime, very deprived area — affects value/rental
Requires cosmetic updating; good potential for landlord or first buyer
This mid-terraced Victorian stone property offers straightforward, spacious living across two double bedrooms plus a large loft room — well suited to a first-time buyer seeking character or an investor after a lettable, long-lease home. The layout includes a generous lounge, fitted kitchen, bathroom and front and rear gardens, with easy access to local shops, bus links and the town centre.
Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing, a long lease (880 years) and very low ground rent (£12 p.a.). At about 937 sq ft, room sizes are generous for the age: a sizeable lounge, two double bedrooms (one with walk-in wardrobe) and a loft room with a Velux window that could serve as a home office, bedroom or storage.
Buyers should note material downsides plainly. The property sits in an area with very high crime levels and high deprivation — factors that affect resale and rental demand. The building is an early 20th-century stone terrace with assumed uninsulated solid walls, so buyers should budget for insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. Some cosmetic updating or renovation may be needed to modernise fixtures and finishings.
Overall this is a value-driven proposition: lots of floor space, long lease and gardens make it attractive to first-time buyers and landlords prepared to accept the neighbourhood challenges and invest in improvements. Important facts: leasehold tenure, council tax band A, mains gas heating, double glazing (installation date unknown).
