Set quietly in Earlsheaton with open field views, this compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable entry into a popular residential pocket. The ground floor opens to an open-plan lounge and kitchen with recent appliances fitted (oven, hob and extractor) and a useful cellar for storage. A new mains-gas boiler was installed in September 2021 and comes with a 10-year guarantee; the property also benefits from double glazing (install date unknown).
Upstairs provides two well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom, all arranged across a small but efficient 498 sqft footprint. The front gravel area provides off-street parking space and a small outdoor spot to sit out, while surrounding fields give a countryside feel despite the major-conurbation setting. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent for working from home or streaming.
Buyers should note the property’s modest size and small plot—best suited to first-time buyers or those downsizing. The house is a period build (circa 1900–1929) with sandstone/limestone walls likely without original insulation, so further insulation or energy improvements may be desirable. Cellar spaces in older houses can be prone to damp; any purchaser should inspect for maintenance needs.
Overall this home offers genuine starter-home value: low council tax, recent heating upgrade, straightforward layout and a peaceful location with countryside access. It’s a practical purchase for someone wanting a manageable, characterful property with potential to personalise and improve energy performance over time.
