This extended two-bedroom terraced house offers generous living space and practical features ideal for a first-time buyer. The ground floor combines a modern fitted kitchen with dining space, a wood-burner fireplace and an extended lounge with patio doors opening onto an enclosed rear garden. Two large first-floor bedrooms include fitted wardrobes; the property was previously a three-bedroom and could be reinstated easily.
The home is offered freehold and with no onward chain, so completion can be straightforward. Off-street parking is available on the estate and room sizes are generous throughout, with a large living room and a sizeable kitchen/diner — useful for families or sharers. Local schools are rated Good and everyday amenities and bus links are within walking distance.
Buyers should note some material drawbacks: the exterior appears dated and will need modernization and ongoing maintenance. Broadband speeds in the area are slow, the plot is small, and the neighbourhood sits within a very deprived area classification. Crime levels are average. These factors affect suitability for some buyers but also support strong value and refurbishment potential.
For a buyer prepared to make cosmetic updates and improve connectivity, this property offers immediate occupation, flexible layout potential and clear investment upside. Viewings are recommended to fully appreciate the space and conversion possibilities.
