Set on a Victorian mid-terrace in LE5, this chain-free two-bedroom home offers straightforward starter-home or buy-to-let potential. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, and a bathroom, with two well-proportioned double bedrooms upstairs. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and low crime add everyday convenience.
Practical features include UPVC double glazing, mains gas boiler and radiators, and a low-maintenance courtyard with brick stores for bikes or tools. The property is freehold and council tax band A, which helps keep running costs down for first-time buyers or landlords seeking predictable outgoings.
Notable points to consider: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, the EPC is D, and the house sits on a small plot — improvements such as wall insulation, modernisation of services, or cosmetic updating would increase comfort and value. The surrounding area is classified as deprived, though local amenities, places of worship, and independent schools serve the community.
Overall this mid-terrace is best suited to buyers willing to invest modestly in updating, or investors seeking a straightforward, chain-free acquisition in a well-connected urban location. Early viewing recommended to assess condition and scope for improvement.
