This compact mid-terraced Victorian property on St Cecilia Street offers a practical three-bedroom layout across two storeys plus a loft room. It is chain free and sold on a long lease (852 years), making it straightforward for first-time buyers or investors. The house benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a low council tax band, keeping running costs modest.
Internally the rooms are average-sized with original stone frontage and period character, but the home is presented lived-in and will benefit from cosmetic refurbishment. There is potential to reconfigure or update finishes — including the bathroom and kitchen — to increase comfort or rental appeal. A small enclosed rear yard provides low-maintenance outdoor space.
Location is practical: local shops, schools rated Good, bus routes and Huncoat station are nearby, plus good mobile and broadband coverage. However, the immediate area has high crime statistics and is classified as very deprived, so buyers should weigh this when considering resale or letting prospects. The property sits on older sandstone construction likely without wall insulation and is near a historic coalfield area, which may be relevant for some purchasers.
Overall this is a straightforward, low-cost entry into the market or a buy-to-let opportunity with clear scope for improvement. The long lease and no onward chain simplify purchase; expected works are mainly cosmetic and insulation upgrades if desired.
