A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering straightforward accommodation in a popular Newfoundpool street. The house suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking an affordable, low-entry freehold in easy reach of the city and university. Internal space is modest but practical: two reception rooms, two bedrooms and a four-piece bathroom provide flexibility for living or rental use.
Practical benefits include full mains gas central heating, modern UPVC double glazing and a functioning boiler. The property comes with a private walled rear yard and unrestricted street parking. Council Tax Band A keeps ongoing charges low, and broadband and mobile signal are strong for the area.
The property is dated in parts and will suit buyers prepared to modernise. Walls are likely uninsulated (solid brick as built), and the exterior and some interiors show typical Victorian-era wear; cosmetic updating and targeted improvements (kitchen, decoration, insulation) would increase comfort and value. The local area has higher-than-average crime and sits in a deprived ward, which may affect long-term resale or rental yields for some buyers.
Overall this is a practical, affordable terrace for someone looking to enter the market or add to a rental portfolio, with clear scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
