A well-proportioned two-bedroom tenement flat combining original Victorian features with contemporary conveniences. High ceilings, decorative plasterwork and period proportions give the living spaces character, while a fitted kitchen, gas central heating and double glazing keep running costs and maintenance straightforward. The layout centers on an open-plan living room and kitchen with a practical breakfast island — a sensible arrangement for everyday living and entertaining.
Practical details strengthen the appeal for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor: freehold tenure, a compact 710 sq ft footprint, good broadband and excellent mobile signal, and generally low council tax. Both bedrooms are double-sized and offer built-in storage in the principal, and the bathroom is tiled with easy-maintenance wet wall panelling and an over-bath shower.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The wider area is classed as very deprived, which can affect resale and rental demand; parking is on-street only; external stone shows some weathering; and there is limited private outdoor space (small communal grounds/forecourt). Also, property descriptions supplied are inconsistent about the floor level (described as both second floor and ground floor) — prospective buyers must confirm the exact level and access before arranging a viewing.
Overall this property offers a characterful, practical home or rental unit at an accessible price point. It’s best suited to first-time buyers seeking period features with modern comforts, or investors seeking a straightforward let in a town-centre location, provided they accept the area’s socioeconomic challenges and limited outdoor space.
