This deceptively spacious mid-terrace cottage offers bright rooms and practical living across two storeys. The main bedroom includes an en suite, while the second bedroom is split into two useful spaces ideal for a home office, nursery or dressing area. Two reception rooms and a modern kitchen give flexible living options for everyday life.
Outside, a small, well-kept rear yard provides a private outdoor spot. The property is freehold, around 865 sq ft, and presented in good order — ready to move into for buyers seeking a compact home. Local amenities, good primary and secondary schools nearby, and strong public transport links make the location convenient for everyday needs.
Important negatives: the area records very high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect insurance and future resale. The plot is small and rooms are generally compact for a two-bedroom house. There is a single bathroom (ground-floor), so households needing more bathrooms should note this limitation.
Overall, this property suits first-time buyers or investors wanting an affordable, low-maintenance starter home in a handy location. It offers sensible scope for modest cosmetic updates and immediate occupation, but buyers should weigh the local social and safety considerations alongside the good local schools and transport access.
