Affordable Lees starter home with private patio and long lease.
Two spacious bedrooms, comfortable living space
This traditional Victorian terraced home on Dixon Street offers a straightforward starter home in the popular Lees area. The house provides two spacious bedrooms, a comfortable living room and a kitchen-diner across 686 sq ft, plus a private rear patio — a manageable outdoor space for first-time buyers.
Practical comforts include UPVC double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an EPC rating of C. The property sits on a long lease (999 years from 1936, c. 910 years remaining) and has very low council tax (Band A), helping running costs stay low.
Buyers should note the property is a period build (pre-1900) with sandstone/limestone walls that likely lack modern cavity insulation and shows areas that would benefit from updating. The interior has some dated elements and will repay cosmetic modernisation and possible insulation improvements to increase comfort and efficiency.
Positioned close to the village centre, local shops, bus links and nearby green spaces, the house suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into homeownership. It also offers straightforward rental potential for investors seeking a low-maintenance terrace in a well-connected area.
