This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Laithe Street is a compact Victorian property offered at an attractive price point, suited to investors or buyers prepared to renovate. The house is freehold, with double glazing installed after 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators, giving a practical starting point for improvements.
The layout includes a small living room with original fireplace, separate dining kitchen, two bedrooms and a single bathroom across approximately 679 sq ft. The stone façade retains period character; interior fixtures and finishes are dated and will need modernization to reach market-standard rental or owner-occupier condition.
Location notes are frank: the wider area is very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, and the plot is very small. On the positive side the property carries no flood risk, has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—useful for lettings—and local primary schools have Good Ofsted ratings. This is a value-led opportunity for a hands-on buyer seeking rental income or a refurbishment project.
Buyers should allow budget for cosmetic and possible fabric works (kitchen, bathroom, flooring, decorations) and consider that external walls are likely uninsulated. The price reflects the work needed and the local market context; purchasers should carry out full surveys and checks before committing.
