This ground-floor two-bedroom flat blends period character with modern presentation, offered chain free at an accessible price of £95,000. The bay-fronted main bedroom and feature fireplace give the living room character, while the kitchen and bathroom are finished to a contemporary standard — ready for immediate occupation or letting.
The home sits in a mid-terrace stone building and includes both a private front area and a large private rear yard, uncommon for flats at this price. Practical details include a long lease (173 years remaining), gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters or tenants.
Buyers should note the modest internal footprint (approximately 624 sq ft) and a linear layout typical of Victorian terraces that limits circulation space. The area is in a deprived ward with average crime levels and blue-collar historic employment; this affects resale and rental demand compared with more affluent neighbourhoods. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and may be due for future updating.
Overall this property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, move-in-ready starter home, or an investor looking for a straightforward let with easy access to local schools and commuter routes. The long lease and low council tax band are practical benefits, but purchasers should factor local area characteristics and potential long-term maintenance costs into their plans.
