A neat two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace presented in neutral decor across compact, well-arranged rooms. The ground floor offers a cosy lounge flowing to an open-plan kitchen-diner, while upstairs provides one double bedroom, one single with built-in storage and a modern three-piece bathroom.
Practical features include a gas combi boiler, timber-framed double glazing, rear external wall insulation and up-to-date gas and electrical safety certificates. Outside there’s a low-maintenance rear garden and a useful outbuilding — appealing for buyers wanting minimal upkeep or investors seeking easy management.
This property is offered chain-free with a long lease (688 years) and a modest guide price, making it accessible for first-time buyers and attractive to investors targeting strong rental returns. Be aware the home is small (c. 522 sq ft) and located in a neighbourhood with higher crime levels and significant area deprivation, which may affect resale and rental perceptions.
Viewings are recommended to judge room sizes and layout suitability in person; the property provides solid basics and clear potential for a practical starter home or buy-to-let with immediate occupancy potential.
