A solid Edwardian end-of-terrace with three bedrooms, a rear garden and detached garage, offered at an accessible guide price. The house retains period character in its stonework and bay window while providing straightforward accommodation: entrance hall, lounge, kitchen and family bathroom. The layout and size suit first-time buyers, young families or investors seeking a rental or refurbishment project.
The property is double glazed and heated by a mains-gas boiler serving radiators. Constructed before 1900, the walls are likely original granite/whinstone and assumed uninsulated — there is clear potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce running costs with targeted works. Interior decor is dated in places and will benefit from modernisation to unlock full value.
Important sale details: this lot is sold via auction under a Modern Method of Sale.
