This deceptively spacious two-bedroom end terrace blends Victorian character with practical outdoor space. The property has two reception rooms, a bay-fronted living room and a dining-room extension, giving flexible layout options for family living or working from home.
Outside there is a driveway with dropped kerb, two useful outbuildings (utility and former sewing room/home office) and a large, enclosed rear garden with patio and mature planting — a rare plot size for this price band. The house benefits from double glazing, mains gas boiler and fast broadband access. Local schools and public transport links are close by, with quick road access to the A38 and M1.
The house does require some updating and modernisation to reach its full potential: internal finishes show typical age, and external walls are original solid brick (no confirmed insulation). Buyers should note the wider area is described as more deprived, and council tax is very low. There is no flooding risk and crime levels are average.
For first-time buyers wanting a roomy starter home or investors seeking a renovation opportunity with generous outdoor space, this property offers strong potential. Viewings are recommended to appreciate the room sizes and garden at close quarters.
