Garden-fronted Victorian mid-terrace
Two double bedrooms, 603 sq ft (compact layout)
Ground-floor bathroom; utility area off kitchen

This modest two-bedroom mid-terrace on Allanson Street is a straightforward starter home or buy-to-let at an attractive price and sold with no onward chain. The property offers a spacious reception room, ground-floor bathroom and a rare-for-type utility area off the kitchen — useful for laundry or extra storage. An enclosed rear yard and small front garden give outdoor space for children or a simple seating area.
The house is compact (approx. 603 sq ft) and will suit purchasers prepared to update finishes; photos show at least one room with missing floor covering and contemporary skirting, so expect some renovation and cosmetic work. The property is leasehold and located in a neighbourhood with high crime and high deprivation indicators, which will factor into resale and rental appeal.
Practical positives include a C EPC rating, nearby bus routes and several primary and secondary schools within walking distance (including Allanson Street Primary and St Cuthbert’s High School). For buyers seeking a low-entry price — either to create a personalised home or to refurbish for rental income — this property represents clear potential, provided you factor in improvement costs and local area challenges.
