A chain-free, three-bedroom Victorian semi that pairs generous interior proportions with a large rear garden — ideal for a first-time buyer or an investor seeking rental or refurbishment potential. The house sits on a small plot but benefits from surprisingly large rooms and a high-ceilinged living room with a bay window that brings good natural light.
The property is freehold, connected to mains gas with boiler-and-radiator heating, and has double glazing installed before 2002. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, making the home practical for remote working and connected living. Council tax is very cheap, which helps running costs.
Notable considerations: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates and terraced blue-collar surrounds, so buyers should factor local context into their plans. The house is a solid-brick build from the early 20th century and likely lacks cavity wall insulation; upgrading insulation and windows would improve comfort and efficiency. The accommodation will benefit from cosmetic modernisation in places to maximise value.
Overall, this property offers space, a sizable garden and no onward chain — clear positives for someone starting out, adding to a lettings portfolio, or looking for a project with good scope to increase value through sensible investment.
