This mid-terraced two-bedroom home on Brookshaw Street offers practical living across two reception rooms and a kitchen extension, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a move-in ready base with scope to personalise. Neutral décor, double glazing and modern fixtures create comfortable living spaces, while an enclosed rear yard and paved front courtyard provide low-maintenance outdoor areas.
The property benefits from two double bedrooms and a compact but well-specified kitchen with skylights, gas hob and integrated oven. On-street parking and easy access to bus routes and major road links make commuting straightforward. The long lease (circa 900 years) and very low council tax band A keep running costs modest.
Buyers should note the EPC rating of D and the house’s solid brick construction with assumed lack of cavity insulation; improving thermal performance may be desirable and could be factored into future refurbishment plans. The property sits in a very deprived local area classification, which may affect long-term resale values for some buyers.
Overall this mid-terrace is a sensible entry-level purchase: comfortable to live in now, with clear potential to increase energy efficiency and personalise the interior to add value.
