No upward chain — immediate purchase possible
Two reception rooms; practical Victorian layout
Two double bedrooms; modest room sizes

Solid brick walls likely uninsulated; consider insulation costs
Small rear garden and limited overall plot size
Freehold tenure, gas central heating, double glazing present
Area has very high crime and high deprivation — factor locality risk
A Victorian mid-terrace offered chain free and priced to reflect needed updating. The house provides two reception rooms, two double bedrooms and a compact rear garden — straightforward accommodation for a first home or buy-to-let refurbishment.
Internally the layout is practical: lounge with feature fireplace, dining room leading to a kitchen and ground-floor bathroom. The property has gas central heating and double glazing but finishes are dated and several rooms show signs of neglect; the home will suit a buyer prepared to modernise rather than move in immediately.
Notable positives include town-centre proximity, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus freehold tenure and very low council tax. However be clear about material drawbacks: the area shows high crime and marked deprivation, walls are solid brick (likely uninsulated), and the house will require cosmetic and possibly further structural or services checks. Prospective purchasers should commission a survey and factor renovation costs into their offer.
For an investor or hands-on first-time buyer this property represents a lower-entry purchase with clear uplift potential after modernisation. For those seeking immediate tranquillity or high-spec finishes, the property will need work before reaching that standard.
