This two-bedroom mid-terraced house on Hampden Street is presented as an affordable, entry-level purchase with no onward chain — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a compact, town-centre home. The layout is straightforward: entrance vestibule, lounge, rear kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom, all across an average 632 sq ft footprint. A small paved forecourt and enclosed rear yard provide minimal outdoor space while the plot is described as relatively large for the immediate area.
The property offers practical essentials: mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, double glazing noted generally (install date unknown) and a traditional cavity wall build. Transport links, local shops and schools are close by, making daily life convenient. Council tax is very cheap and mobile and broadband connectivity are strong — useful for working from home or commuting.
Buyers should be aware of clear renovation needs. The living room description notes damp stains and signs of possible damp, textured ceilings and at least one older single-glazed window; internal finishes will require updating. Walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation, so improving insulation and modernising heating controls could be sensible early works. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale timings and local services despite very low recorded crime.
Overall this is a practical, low-cost entry point into homeownership with good connectivity and immediate occupancy potential. It suits buyers willing to invest time and modest money into modernisation to create a comfortable home or a simple rental holding in a town-centre location.
