This well-presented two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Ferry Lane offers an affordable entry into Stanley with period character and a modernised interior. The lounge retains a feature fireplace while the kitchen/diner has integrated appliances and useful understairs storage — practical for everyday living. A south-facing, low-maintenance rear garden provides outdoor space uncommon at this price point.
The property suits first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a compact, rentable home close to local schools, shops and commuter links. UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of D65 mean the house is ready to occupy with no immediate major works reported. Room sizes are typical for a terrace of this age; the principal bedroom is generous while the second bedroom is narrow and best used as a child’s room, home office or occasional guest room.
Notable constraints are honest and important: the plot is very small, on-street parking is the primary option (with limited rear off-street parking access), and the property sits in an area with above-average recorded crime. The property was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls where cavity insulation is unlikely; buyers should consider insulation or energy upgrades if desired. Purchasers should also check local coal-mining records and obtain standard survey and searches.
Overall, this terraced house offers strong starter-home value and straightforward rental potential in a very affluent postcode district. It’s presented for immediate occupation yet retains scope for energy improvements or cosmetic updates to increase comfort and long-term value.
