A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering a straightforward, low-cost entry to Peterborough. The house is freehold and arranged over two storeys with two bedrooms, a ground-floor reception, simple kitchen and bathroom — a practical layout for a first home or buy-to-let. The property benefits from mains gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and permit parking to the front.
The rear garden is small and currently overgrown; it needs basic maintenance to become a usable outdoor space. The solid brick walls were built 1900–1929 and are assumed uninsulated — upgrading insulation and replacing older double glazing would improve comfort and efficiency. The interior rooms are modest in size, so buyers should expect a compact living footprint rather than spacious accommodation.
Location works for buyers who need fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a wide range of local amenities within walking distance. Nearby schools include highly rated secondary options, making the area suitable for small families or professionals. Note the immediate neighbourhood statistics: very high area deprivation and elevated crime levels — sensible purchasers should factor this into long-term plans.
This house suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable home to personalise, or an investor after a straightforward Victorian terrace to refurbish and rent. The price reflects the compact size and local challenges; scope exists to add value through insulation, window upgrades and garden clearance.
