A compact three-bedroom mid-20th-century terraced house offering clear potential for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to renovate. The layout includes a bay-fronted lounge, open-plan dining room with patio doors, kitchen and a three-piece bathroom across two floors. Off-street parking and a small rear garden add practical outdoor space.
The property is in the Challney school catchment and close to several primary and secondary schools, local shops and regular bus routes — handy for families and commuters. It is freehold, modest in size (approx. 776 sq ft) and has a cheap council tax band, which can help with running costs.
Important drawbacks are factual: the house needs modernisation throughout (noted plaster issues and dated 1960s fittings), and some systems may require updating — the boiler is in an external shed. The area records higher crime rates and the neighbourhood is classed as deprived, which could affect resale and rental demand. EPC rating is TBC.
For buyers seeking value, this house offers scope to add modern kitchens and bathrooms, redecorate and improve energy performance to increase comfort and future value. For investors, the compact footprint and local rental demand could work after refurbishment; for first-time buyers, it’s a chance to create a personalised home but expect renovation time and cost.
