- Gas central heating and double glazing already fitted
- Separate lounge and dining room; four-piece first-floor bathroom

This two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Grove Road offers a traditional layout with genuine improvement potential. The property retains period features such as a bay-windowed front room and a working fireplace, combined with practical updates including gas central heating and double glazing.
Layout includes a front lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, rear utility/ground-floor WC and a four-piece bathroom on the first floor. The south-facing small rear garden provides an outdoor space rare for similar terraces and is easy to maintain.
The house will suit a first-time buyer or investor prepared to modernise cosmetic and functional elements. Some rooms show dated decor and there are signs of minor damp in parts; an updating programme will improve comfort and value. The plot is modest and the wider neighbourhood scores high on deprivation indices, so consider local area context alongside the low asking price.
Practical positives: very cheap council tax, fast broadband, nearby primary schools rated Good, and frequent local amenities and bus links. Drawbacks: constrained plot, need for modernization, neighbourhood challenges, and one nearby secondary school with an Inadequate Ofsted rating.
