This traditional two-bedroom semi sits on a quiet street in Newton and offers an affordable entry into home ownership or a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity. The house is freehold with two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, family bathroom and a rear garden with garage — practical space for a small family or tenants. Broadband speeds are fast and local primary and secondary schools are rated Good, with basic village amenities within walking distance.
Recent work includes a gas central heating system installed in August 2024, improving comfort and running costs. The property retains period brickwork and a feature fireplace, giving character and scope to create a welcoming home. The plot is small and the internal footprint is around 880 sq ft, so this will suit buyers looking for manageable accommodation rather than large family living.
There are some clear maintenance and improvement needs: parts of the garden and shed are overgrown and require attention, the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and some internal updating is likely. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. These factors make the house a sensible purchase for buyers willing to complete modest renovations to add value.
Overall, this is a cost-effective home in a small-town location with good transport links, schooling and outdoor recreation nearby. For first-time buyers or investors seeking a period property with immediate rental or living potential, it represents a practical, lower-cost option, provided you budget for refresh and energy-efficiency upgrades.
