Freshly renovated and well presented, this two-bedroom mid-terrace offers affordable entry to the market with comfortable living spaces and a large, private rear garden. The open-plan kitchen/diner with breakfast bar and separate lounge provide practical daily living, while two bedrooms and a family bathroom sit on the upper floor. A cellar adds useful storage or utility potential. EPC rating D.
The rear garden is a standout feature: walled borders, a pond and a raised patio create an attractive outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining — unusual for a property of this size. At approximately 597 sq ft, the house is compact but efficiently laid out, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking straightforward, low-maintenance accommodation.
Important considerations: the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average local crime levels and is classed within a hampered neighbourhood profile. Walls appear to be solid brick with no confirmed cavity insulation, which may mean future insulation or heating-cost improvements are worthwhile. The home is leasehold with a long remaining term (876 years).
For investors: anticipated rent around £650 pcm suggests a strong gross yield of about 9% at the asking price, but factor in local market conditions and management requirements. For buyers looking for affordable, move-in-ready accommodation with outdoor space, this home presents clear value — tempered by its location and some thermal performance considerations.
