Chain-free Victorian three-bedroom mid-terrace with private rear garden
This mid-terrace Victorian house offers a practical, chain-free purchase in Forest Fields — an accessible option for first-time buyers or investors. The layout includes two reception rooms, three bedrooms and a flexible room that could serve as a fourth bedroom or home office. A private rear garden and easy access to local shops and frequent public transport add everyday convenience.
The property is in generally good condition but dated in places: the kitchen will benefit from modernization and there is a single bathroom for a three-bedroom home. The house is solid-brick construction typical of its 1900–1929 build; there is no known wall insulation (assumed) and glazing is double but install date is unknown, so factor in possible improvement costs for energy efficiency.
Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators, and freehold tenure. The area has a strong local community and a range of amenities and schools rated Good, though the neighbourhood faces high crime and very high deprivation, which will affect resale and rental prospects. Overall this is a straightforward, well-located property with clear scope for value-adding updates.
