This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Boreham Road offers period character and a chain-free purchase for buyers seeking a manageable project. Built before 1900, the house retains exposed beams, stone floors and a brick fireplace that give strong historic appeal and cosy living spaces. The property is compact (≈689 sq ft) with a very small plot and standard ceiling heights in most rooms; some rooms have lower ceilings.
Practical details suit everyday living: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002), an EPC rating of C and no flood risk. Broadband and mobile signal are both good, and local schools are highly rated, making the location convenient for families or first-time buyers who value transport links and nearby amenities.
The house needs renovation and modernisation throughout—cosmetic updating is required and no loft or wall insulation is assumed (solid brick walls). Prospective buyers should budget for upgrades; the layout is traditional with three main rooms and a simple kitchen and bathroom. The property is freehold and offered with no onward chain, enabling a quicker purchase for someone ready to refurbish.
Important negatives are candid: the area records very high crime levels, and the plot is very small which limits outdoor space. Buyers should factor these into suitability and security improvements. Overall, this is a period cottage-style terrace with character and refurbishment potential in a well-connected town location.
