2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Chain-free starter home with garden and renovation potential near town centre..
Chain-free two-bedroom end-terrace in quiet cul-de-sac
Set at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac and offered chain-free, this two-bedroom end-terrace presents a straightforward starter or investment project. The lounge-diner runs the full depth of the house and brings good natural light; the kitchen opens directly to the rear garden, allowing for a simple open-plan conversion if desired. Two built-in-wardrobe bedrooms and a practical wet room complete the accommodation.
The property clearly needs modernisation throughout: dated fixtures, décor and services will require updating. Heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators, the EPC is D and glazing is double but of unknown age — factor in running costs, potential oil tank servicing or replacement, and a likely upgrade to meet longer-term efficiency goals. The garden is low maintenance, shingled with a pergola and useful outbuildings for storage.
Practical positives include a driveway, decent plot size, no flood risk and very low council tax (Band A), which helps running costs while you improve the home. Local amenities are accessible — a five-minute walk to the town centre, nearby good-rated primary and secondary schools, bus links and leisure facilities — supporting daily life and rental appeal. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
For a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor willing to carry out renovations, this house offers clear scope to add value. Be realistic about required works (cosmetic updates, likely heating/efficiency improvements) and budget accordingly, but expect a property with good location fundamentals and straightforward layout to personalise or let quickly.
