Summary - 17 MONTROSE STREET BRIERFIELD NELSON BB9 5BZ
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Affordable two-bedroom starter with garden and long lease ideal for first buyers.
Two double bedrooms and family-sized living space
This two-bedroom end terrace on Montrose Street offers a practical first home in a well-connected area of Brierfield. The layout includes a family-sized living room, dining kitchen, conservatory and two double bedrooms across an average-sized footprint of about 777 sq ft. The property benefits from a long lease (899 years), mains gas central heating and fast broadband and mobile signal — useful for homeworking or streaming.
Outdoor space is a useful bonus: a maintained front garden with mature shrubs and a paved rear patio provide simple low-maintenance areas for relaxing or entertaining. Local amenities include playgrounds, sports facilities and regular bus links, while several primary and secondary schools nearby have Good Ofsted ratings, which is valuable for young families.
There are some material issues to factor in. The front elevation shows damp and needs maintenance, the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated and double glazing installation date is unknown. The area has above-average crime and is classed as very deprived, so buyers should consider local conditions and insurance implications. Council tax is very low, and the long lease and modest size make this a sensible entry-level purchase with scope to modernise rather than move immediately.
Overall, the house suits first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home with renovation potential. It offers comfortable living space and long-term tenure, but budget for external repairs, possible insulation work and interior updating to reach contemporary standards.
