This neatly presented two-bedroom terraced home sits on Lord Street in Kearsley and offers an accessible, low-maintenance starter home or buy-to-let opportunity. The property has been extended to the rear to provide a modern, shaker-style kitchen and an overall bright, contemporary feel throughout the living spaces.
Practical running costs are attractive: gas central heating, double glazing installed after 2002, a very long lease (866 years) and a nominal £2 annual ground rent. Council Tax is in Band A, keeping monthly outgoings low for first-time buyers or investors seeking straightforward rental overheads.
Outside space is limited but easy to manage, with a small front garden and an enclosed block-paved courtyard to the rear. The footprint is typical of inner-terrace housing — compact rooms and no extensive grounds — which suits buyers prioritising location and affordability over large gardens.
Be aware the property sits in a very deprived wider area; local amenities, schools and transport links are close by, but neighbourhood socio-economic factors may affect resale or lettability for some buyers. The house appears structurally conventional for its era (1930s–1940s) with cavity walls (no added insulation assumed) and standard ceiling heights, so buyers should consider insulation upgrades for long-term energy savings.
