This mid-terraced Victorian red-brick house on Orford Lane offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to refurbish. The property has three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a rear yard, plus a small forecourt to the front. It benefits from mains gas heating, double glazing (installed post-2002) and low council tax (Band A).
The house is presented in a stripped-back, worn condition and will need investment to reach modern living standards: internal redecoration, repairs to plasterwork and flooring, and refurbishment of kitchen and wet room. There are signs of localized damp/mould in the living area that should be investigated and remedied during works. Walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so energy upgrades will improve comfort and running costs.
Location is inner-urban with good local amenities, transport links and several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, supporting home working or tenant appeal. Crime in the area is above average and the wider area is classified as deprived, which is reflected in the asking price and rental yield potential.
This property suits buyers seeking an affordable entry into homeownership or landlords aiming for a refurbishment-to-rent project. Expect works and ongoing maintenance; the combination of freehold tenure, chain-free sale and sensible purchase price makes it practical for someone ready to carry out a renovation programme.
