This mid-20th century mid-terrace offers practical two-bedroom living with clear value drivers for a first-time buyer or investor. The house provides two large double bedrooms, a through lounge, conservatory and a modern-feeling kitchen with a separate utility and ground-floor W/C — all on a manageable 797 sq ft footprint. Off-street parking and a good-size rear garden are rare extras for this price band and add immediate lifestyle and rental appeal.
The property benefits from double glazing, mains gas boiler with radiators and a tidy presentation throughout, so it is move-in ready in many respects. The layout suits families or sharers and the location has strong local schooling and convenient links to the M6/M42 and public transport. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent.
There are important factual drawbacks to note. The house is described as system-built/non-standard construction with assumed no wall insulation; some lenders may apply restrictions or extra checks and specialist mortgage advice is recommended. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived with higher local crime levels — factors that affect resale and rental demand and should be weighed alongside the low asking price. The small plot and mid-terrace form mean outdoor space and privacy are limited compared with semi-detached alternatives.
Overall this is a pragmatic purchase: a well-presented, economical freehold home with parking and outdoor space, suited to a buyer who values affordability and transport/schooling convenience, and who is comfortable addressing or accepting the implications of non-standard construction and local area challenges.
