Summary - 52 ALFORD STREET GRANTHAM NG31 8BX
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home near town centre and rail links for commuters.
Mid-terraced two-bedroom terrace with enclosed courtyard garden
This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Alford Street offers an affordable entry into Grantham’s housing market. The compact layout includes a front lounge, separate dining room, kitchen and an enclosed courtyard garden with a useful outbuilding — practical space for city living or a straightforward rental. A combi-boiler and double glazing are already fitted, and the property’s proximity to Grantham town centre and the train station makes it a strong commuter option.
The house dates from the early 1900s and retains period brick character externally, while interior finishes are simple and functional. Rooms are modest in proportion, suitable for first-time buyers or landlords targeting local renters. The loft is insulated but not boarded, offering potential storage or conversion subject to consents. The plot is small, so outdoor space is limited to a courtyard-style garden with raised decking.
Buyers should be aware of material issues: the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, the double glazing was installed pre-2002 and may not meet modern standards, and some updating is likely to improve comfort and energy efficiency. The area shows above-average crime and relative deprivation metrics, which can affect rental demand and resale — factor this into budgeting. Council tax is very low, and broadband and mobile reception are strong.
Overall this property suits someone seeking a low-cost starter home or a buy-to-let where modest refurbishment can add value. Viewings will help assess room sizes and condition; a survey is recommended to confirm insulation, window condition and any hidden maintenance needs.
