Affordable three-bed with refurbishment upside in a convenient town-centre location.
End-terraced Victorian house with added side-light from corner position
Three bedrooms in a compact 741 sq ft layout, small overall footprint
Leasehold tenure — buyers should verify lease terms and charges
Solid brick walls assumed uninsulated; insulation upgrade likely needed
Requires internal modernisation — kitchen, bathroom and redecoration
Paved front yard only; no private garden, on-street parking only
Very cheap council tax; excellent mobile and fast broadband
Crime in the area is above average — consider security and insurance
A compact three-bedroom end-terraced house on Water Street suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a manageable refurbishment project. The property’s end position brings extra side light and slightly more external wall exposure than a mid-terrace, while the small paved forecourt provides a tidy, low-maintenance external area. Inside, rooms are a modest size and retain period character such as a bay window and feature fireplace.
The house is leasehold, built before 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and double glazing of unknown install date. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. The home will reward updating: cosmetic and modernisation work is likely to increase comfort and market value; buyers should budget for kitchen, bathroom and general redecoration and check insulation and electrical/structural standards.
Practical advantages include on-street parking, very cheap council tax band, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and renters. There is no flood risk. Notable local factors: the area is an urban town-centre setting with good access to amenities and transport, but recorded crime levels are above average. Buyers wanting more outdoor space should note the plot is small with only a paved forecourt.
Overall this is a modest, characterful property with clear refurbishment potential. It suits a first-time buyer wanting an affordable starter home near local services, or an investor targeting a straightforward town-centre rental, provided any required repairs, insulation upgrades and tenancy considerations are factored into costings.
