This well-maintained two-bedroom mid-terrace on Gladstone Street offers an accessible first step onto the property ladder. The house is offered chain free and has been cared for by the current owner, with recent upgrades including a two-year-old gas boiler still covered by a 10-year guarantee and double glazing. A quaint rear yard provides private outdoor space for pots or a small seating area.
Practical running costs are appealing: very low council tax (Band A) and a nominal ground rent. The property sits within walking distance of local shops, supermarkets, a swimming pool and artisan cafés, with quick access to the M65 (junctions 6 and 7) for commuting. Good local primary and secondary schools are nearby, making it a sensible option for young families or first-time buyers.
Buyers should note material drawbacks: the EPC rating is D and the original sandstone/limestone walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and future improvement costs. The wider area is identified as deprived with above-average crime statistics, so buyers should factor neighbourhood context into their decision. The rooms are traditional in layout and modest in size, reflecting the property's Victorian terrace origins.
Overall, this is a straightforward, affordable starter home with immediate move-in practicality and scope for energy-efficiency improvements. It will suit a purchaser looking for low upfront costs, convenient local amenities and the opportunity to add value through targeted updates.
