This three-bedroom mid-terrace in Pelton offers an affordable entry to homeownership or a compact buy-to-let opportunity. Set over two storeys with a spacious reception room and practical layout, it suits a first-time buyer seeking a modest, manageable home or an investor targeting rental demand in a built-up area.
The property is neutrally decorated throughout and benefits from an EPC rating of C and very low Council Tax (Band A), helping running costs. A garage and enclosed rear yard add useful storage and off-street space rarely found at this price point.
There is visible wear consistent with an older Edwardian terrace: some dated fittings and reported damp issues will require attention, and the staircase and internal joinery need maintenance. The house is small overall and offers scope for cosmetic modernisation rather than structural changes.
Location is practical — good public transport links, nearby shops, green spaces and cycling routes — but the neighbourhood scores as very deprived with above-average crime, which may affect longer-term resale and lettings. Priced for affordability, this home suits buyers prepared to invest modestly in upgrades to increase comfort or rental yield.
