A newly refurbished two-bedroom mid-terrace offering straightforward, affordable living in Fencehouses. The house has been updated throughout and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a practical rear yard. The 862 sq ft layout includes a generous living room, good-size kitchen/diner and two upstairs bedrooms with a three-piece bathroom.
This property suits a first-time buyer looking for a low-cost step on the ladder or an investor seeking a ready-to-rent terrace close to local amenities and transport links. Nearby schools are well regarded and broadband speeds are fast, supporting modern family and rental needs. The home is vacant and freehold, simplifying purchase completion at auction.
Be realistic about the location and construction. The street is in a very deprived area of predominantly blue-collar terraces and local crime is average. The house dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls likely lacking modern cavity insulation, which could affect heating costs despite the gas boiler and radiators. The plot is small and the property sits in a terraced row with close neighbouring houses.
Sold at auction — bidding conditions apply. Early viewing is recommended to assess finish, layout and any further improvement needs. This house offers clear value for buyers prepared for a compact urban home or modest refurbishment projects to increase future value.
