3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home with garden and low running costs near local amenities.
Freehold mid-terrace with three bedrooms and two reception rooms
Modern fitted kitchen; ready-to-move-in presentation
Enclosed rear garden with brick shed/garden room
Double glazing fitted after 2002; mains gas central heating
Small overall size; compact rooms and a single bathroom
Solid brick walls (assumed no cavity insulation) may need upgrading
On-street non-permit parking only; no off-street space
Local area: very high crime and very deprived — consider safety and resale
This compact mid-terrace home offers three bedrooms and two reception rooms across modest, well-kept living space — an affordable entry point for first-time buyers. The ground floor feels bright with laminate flooring and a modern kitchen; an enclosed rear garden and a brick shed/garden room extend usable space outdoors.
Practical conveniences are strong: mains gas central heating, double glazing (fitted post-2002), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Local schooling includes Ofsted-rated Good and Outstanding options nearby, and council tax is very low, helping keep running costs down.
Buyers should be realistic about limits: the overall size is small with compact rooms and a single family bathroom. The property was originally built as solid brick (assumed uninsulated walls) so improving thermal efficiency may be needed. Parking is on-street only and the immediate area records very high crime and high deprivation — factors to weigh for family safety and long-term resale.
For anyone seeking an affordable, ready-to-move-in starter home with scope to improve energy performance and personalise interiors, this house represents clear value. The combination of modern kitchen, enclosed garden and low taxation makes it a sensible purchase for a first-time buyer or investor prepared for local area considerations.
