This Victorian end-of-terrace offers a compact, well-kept two-bedroom home in Abington, ideal for first-time buyers seeking character close to local amenities. The open-plan living/dining area and character fireplace retain period charm, while recent updates—most notably a boiler less than a year old—reduce immediate maintenance concerns.
Practical features include a useful cellar for storage and a low-maintenance paved courtyard garden with built-in BBQ and shed. The kitchen is equipped with a five-hob range cooker and space for appliances; the family bathroom has built-in storage and a three-piece suite. Good local schools and fast broadband make the location family- and working-from-home friendly.
Be aware of material drawbacks: the property has an EPC rating of D and solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher than modern standards. Crime levels in the area are recorded as high, and the plot is small — the garden is courtyard-style rather than a lawned backyard. Double glazing is present but install date is unknown.
Overall, this is a traditional, compact home with clear potential for personalization and improvement. It suits buyers who want a character-filled starter home in a well-connected city location and who are comfortable planning modest energy-efficiency upgrades over time.
