This two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace offers a straightforward entry to the market for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The house is chain-free, vacant and freehold, with open-plan living, a useful cellar chamber and easy-access loft storage. A small, low-maintenance rear yard and off-street parking to the side add practical benefits in a compact footprint.
The property is solidly constructed (pre-1900 sandstone/limestone as built) but shows signs that routine maintenance and light refurbishment are advisable—external paintwork is peeling and some internal finishes are basic. Heating is gas-fired via a boiler and radiators; glazing is double but the install date is unknown. Buyers should note the walls are assumed uninsulated and may wish to budget for insulation or energy-efficiency improvements.
Location strengths include quick access to local shops, schools (including highly rated nearby primaries), parks and reliable transport links. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting modern working from home. The area has strong rental appeal, making the house suitable for investor buyers seeking straightforward letting potential, or owner-occupiers looking for an affordable starter home.
Points to verify on inspection include condition of building services, potential conservation or planning constraints (given age and construction), and local security considerations: the area records higher crime rates. Overall this property suits buyers looking for a practical, competitively priced home with clear scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
