A straightforward, chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace offering a traditional layout and good living space for a first home or rental. The property has a generous lounge-diner, fitted kitchen, and an enclosed rear yard for low-maintenance outdoor use. Gas central heating and uPVC double glazing are already fitted, and the property is freehold with an affordable Council Tax Band A.
The house sits in a Victorian terrace typical of its era: solid brick walls, bay window to the front and modest room sizes. There is clear potential to modernise and add value — cosmetic updating, improved insulation and kitchen or bathroom upgrades would increase comfort and market appeal. The loft has access points and the layout lends itself to straightforward refurbishment.
Buyers should note several material factors: the area scores high for crime and is in a very deprived district, and the property shows signs commonly associated with older terraces (potential damp/mould and assumed lack of wall insulation). For safety and cost certainty, check the boiler age, electrical system and structural condition before committing. The chain-free status and city-centre location make it an easy purchase for someone ready to invest time and modest funds into improvement.
