Set at the end of a small modern terrace in Mill-Race, this two-bedroom end-link house offers straightforward, low-maintenance living ideal for a first-time buyer or investor. The ground floor opens into a generous living/dining room brightened by side and rear windows, with easy access to an enclosed rear garden and two allocated parking spaces — a rare convenience in the area. The kitchen, ground-floor WC and first-floor bathroom provide practical everyday facilities, while an airing cupboard houses the combi boiler for central heating.
The home is offered chain-free and is freehold, enabling a quicker move for buyers who want to settle in or let out promptly. At about 625 sq ft, the rooms are compact but efficiently planned; built in the early 1990s, the property benefits from double glazing and cavity-wall construction. EPC rating C and mains gas heating give reasonable running costs, and council tax sits at an affordable band.
Buyers should weigh location factors: the local area records high crime and is in a very deprived neighbourhood classification, which could affect long-term resale and rental demand. The plot is small, and while the property appears well-maintained, it offers limited space for extension without planning checks. For investors, the property’s size and layout suit straightforward letting to professionals or small households; first-time buyers will find manageable upkeep and useful parking a strong draw.
Overall this is a pragmatic starter home or buy-to-let opportunity: compact, chain-free and practical, but set within a neighbourhood with socioeconomic challenges that buyers should consider when assessing value and future prospects.
