A Victorian mid-terrace with a small front garden, this two-bedroom property offers a compact, traditional layout across approximately 762 sq ft. The house benefits from gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a long lease of 885 years — helpful for mortgage and purchase certainty. Council tax is very low and broadband and mobile signal are strong, making the home practical for everyday living or rental.
The house shows period character in the facade and internal proportions but requires updating internally. The living room and dining areas have dated decor and there are signs of damp in parts that will need investigation and remedial work. The original sandstone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for thermal improvements if energy efficiency is a priority.
Location is convenient for local schools, regular bus links and nearby amenities; several primary and secondary schools have good Ofsted ratings. However, the property sits in a very deprived area with a high local crime rate — factors that affect both family life and investment considerations. Flooding risk is low. This home is suited to first-time buyers or investors prepared to modernise and manage the area’s challenges to achieve future value uplift.
