This mid-terrace Victorian home combines period charm with recent upgrades, ideal for first-time buyers or those looking to downsize. A bright living room with a bay window and high ceilings gives the house immediate character, while the newly fitted kitchen and adjoining dining area create a practical, modern ground floor for everyday living and entertaining. The property is freehold and economical to run with Council Tax band A.
Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a newly installed bathroom featuring a roll-top bath — a real finish that adds personality and comfort. Outside there is a small front garden and a low-maintenance private courtyard at the rear, useful for morning coffee or storing bikes.
Practical points to note: the home sits in an area classed as deprived and with average crime levels; local housing is largely terraces and flats and the immediate neighbourhood includes many constrained renters. The house is built as solid brick (likely without cavity insulation) and heating relies on mains gas with room heaters, so additional insulation or heating upgrades may be beneficial and could improve long-term running costs.
Overall, this is a tidy, newly renovated terraced house with period features and modern fixtures, well placed for local amenities, schools and fast broadband. It will suit a buyer wanting an affordable, characterful starter home with modest outdoor space, and who is comfortable investing in any further energy-efficiency improvements over time.
