Compact three-bed Victorian home with town-centre convenience and upgrade potential.
Victorian stone end-of-terrace with slate roof and period character
A traditional Victorian end-of-terrace on a quiet no-through street, this three-bedroom freehold home suits a practical first-time buyer or investor seeking central town living. The granite stone facade and slate roof retain period character, while double glazing and mains gas central heating give everyday comfort. The layout includes a front lounge/diner, rear fitted kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. An additional interconnecting room has been used as a bedroom or home office.
Practical advantages include an enclosed rear yard with a brick outhouse for storage, convenient on-street parking with a shared drive that may provide extra access, and excellent mobile signal plus fast broadband — useful for commuters or home workers. Local amenities are a short walk away: shops, train station, schools and leisure facilities, with Zip World and other attractions nearby.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly. The property is in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate, which may affect insurance and resale; parking is mainly on-street and external amenity space is small. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC is moderate (D), so further insulation or energy upgrades may be needed. Interior decoration is dated and will benefit from cosmetic modernisation to maximise value.
Overall this is a compact, characterful home with good connectivity and clear potential for improvement. It will suit a buyer prepared to invest modestly in updating and insulating the property, or an investor targeting steady rental demand in a town-centre location.
