A deceptively spacious Victorian mid-terrace offered chain free and ready for renovation. The house retains period features such as a bay window and fireplace, and the layout includes separate lounge and dining rooms plus a courtyard garden — useful for low-maintenance outdoor space.
This freehold property is well located for local shops, schools and transport links, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — practical for first-time buyers who need connectivity or investors seeking rental demand. The accommodation comprises two double bedrooms upstairs and a three-piece shower room, with a compact kitchen at the rear and a welcoming entrance hall.
The property does require updating throughout and would benefit from insulation upgrades (solid brick walls assumed no insulation). Buyers should expect refurbishment work to modernise kitchen, shower room and general decor. The area is in a very deprived ward with above-average crime statistics, so purchasers should consider local market conditions and lettability if buying as an investment.
Offered at an affordable price and with very low council tax (Band A), this home represents a clear project: good scope for value-adding improvements but realistic on costs and neighbourhood factors. Early viewing is recommended for those seeking an affordable entry into the area or a renovation opportunity with quick chain-free possession.
