This recently renovated mid-terrace offers a straightforward, move-in ready two-bedroom home ideal for first-time buyers seeking value. The ground floor has a bright lounge and a modern kitchen/diner fitted with new appliances, while two double bedrooms and an updated bathroom sit upstairs.
Practical extras include a small front garden and a rear yard with off-street parking — an uncommon convenience in this neighbourhood. The property is freehold, approximately 709 sq ft, and benefits from good mobile signal and fast broadband, useful for working from home or streaming.
Buyers should note material drawbacks objectively: the area is very deprived with high local crime levels, and the wider classification describes hard-pressed rented terraces. Heating is via electric storage heaters and the cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so energy costs and comfort may be issues compared with gas-heated homes.
Excellent local amenities, nearby shopping at The Galleries, and fast road links (A1(M), A19) make commuting straightforward. Several good-rated primary schools are within easy reach, though the closest secondary provision has a weaker Ofsted outcome. This is a practical entry-level purchase with clear potential, balanced by neighbourhood and energy-efficiency considerations.
