This stone-built Victorian terrace offers a practical, low-cost step on the property ladder. The house is offered with vacant possession and no chain, freehold tenure and an EPC rating of C, making it relatively energy efficient for its age. Good mains services, gas central heating and UPVC double glazing provide solid, ready-to-use basics.
Internally the layout works well for first-time buyers: a spacious lounge, long dining kitchen, useful store cellar and three bedrooms — the upper-floor attic room is particularly generous with two Velux windows. A small garden and pavement frontage add outside space without onerous upkeep. Council Tax sits at Band A, keeping running costs low.
The setting is central and convenient for local shops, schools and public transport, and mobile signal is excellent. However, the immediate area scores high for crime and considerable socio-economic deprivation; buyers should factor this into their decision and personal safety planning. The property is small overall (approximately 798 sq ft) and, while well presented in places, would benefit from some modernisation to kitchens, bathrooms and cosmetic finishes to suit contemporary tastes.
This home is best for first-time buyers who want a straightforward purchase with scope to personalise and add value. It will suit someone seeking a manageable, traditional terrace in a convenient neighbourhood who is comfortable with modest local challenges and looking for a low-cost entry into homeownership.
