Victorian character with high ceilings and bay-fronted lounge
Two bedrooms, separate dining room and fitted country-style kitchen
Generous rear garden, greenhouse, seating areas and raised borders
Detached sectional garage, not currently used for car storage
Generous off-street parking with gated access and long driveway
Solid brick walls (c.1900–1929) — assumed no wall insulation
Area has above-average crime and very high local deprivation
Very low flood risk and very cheap council tax
This well-presented Victorian semi offers characterful living across two floors and is well suited to first-time buyers seeking space and scope to personalise. High ceilings, a bay-fronted lounge and separate dining room give a sense of period charm, while the fitted kitchen and utility/WC add everyday practicality. The long rear garden, greenhouse and detached sectional garage extend usable outdoor space and storage.
Practical strengths include generous off-street parking and a decent plot that could support extensions subject to planning, plus mains gas central heating and double glazing. The home is freehold and has low flood risk and very cheap council tax, helping running costs. The property is in a city location with excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and local amenities, schools and transport close by.
Buyers should note clear areas for improvement: the house is an older solid-brick build (circa 1900–1929) with assumed no wall insulation, so upgrading insulation and modernising services may be worthwhile. The area shows high deprivation and above-average crime levels, factors to consider for resale or rental plans. The detached garage currently isn’t used for car storage and the garden needs maintenance.
Overall this home offers strong first-step-on-the-ladder potential: a characterful, well-located two-bedroom property with useful outside space and parking, best suited to buyers happy to invest modestly in insulation and cosmetic updating to unlock full value.
