A well-preserved Victorian end-terrace offering comfortable two-bedroom living in the heart of town. The double-aspect sitting/dining room with open fireplace and a generous kitchen/breakfast room give flexible, light-filled living spaces ideal for relaxed days at home and entertaining. The compact courtyard is paved for low maintenance and there is off-street parking for one car — a rare convenience so close to shops.
The house is best suited to someone downsizing, a professional couple, or buyers seeking a low-upkeep town centre base. Bedrooms are a double and a smaller double with good storage; the bathroom is well-appointed in a heritage style. Practical features include mains gas central heating, a fitted Rangemaster cooker, integrated appliances, and a Velux in the kitchen for extra daylight.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction: solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) typical of pre-1900 build and sash windows may limit thermal efficiency. The plot is small and the garden is a courtyard rather than a lawn — great for easy care but not for large-scale outdoor use. There is one bathroom and one parking space, which may be a constraint for some households.
Location is a clear strength: central town position within walking distance of shops, cafes and services, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and highly regarded local schools. Council Tax band D and freehold tenure are straightforward for buyers. Interested parties should arrange their own checks on services and fittings as none have been tested.
