Set back from a public green, this three-bedroom terraced home in Colburn offers an affordable, chain-free opportunity for first-time buyers or investors willing to refurbish. The house benefits from an air-source heat pump, double glazing fitted after 2002, and a practical layout with a generous kitchen/diner and separate living room. A gated rear garden gives secure space for storage or off-street parking — a rare plus for this location.
The property requires updating throughout: windows will need replacement, the bathroom is dated and currently lacks a shower, and general redecoration and modernisation are needed. Despite these works, the accommodation is well laid out across two storeys with three bedrooms, useful built-in storage, and a ground-floor WC. Council Tax is low (Band A), helping running costs while improvements are made.
Location-wise this house sits in a small-town fringe area with good access to the A1 and local amenities, including several primary and secondary schools. Buyers should note the wider area shows higher deprivation and elevated crime levels; this is reflected in pricing and presents both risk and potential for value uplift after refurbishment. Chain-free ownership and the property’s practical outdoor space make it straightforward to renovate and occupy or let out.
