Two double bedrooms plus separate dressing room/home office
Spacious two-level layout — 964 sq ft of accommodation

Offered chain free for quicker completion
Leasehold tenure — buyers must verify lease terms
No EPC recorded; energy performance unknown
High crime and very deprived local area — affects resale/letting
Requires cosmetic updating and possible renovation work
This spacious ground-floor flat arranged over two levels offers unusually generous rooms for the price and layout flexibility that will suit first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. Two double bedrooms are accompanied by a separate dressing room/home office, plus a large lounge and fitted kitchen. The property comes with a private enclosed rear yard and is offered with no onward chain, allowing a quicker purchase process.
The building is a Victorian terrace with period character — high ceilings and bay windows — but it presents as a project in places and will benefit from cosmetic updating. The listing does not include an EPC and the flat is leasehold; buyers should obtain the lease details and legal advice before exchange. Room sizes total approximately 964 sq ft, giving scope to reconfigure or modernise for rental yield or long-term comfortable living.
Location is convenient for local amenities, schools and transport links, and broadband/mobile coverage is strong. Be frank about the neighbourhood: the area records high crime and very high deprivation, which will affect resale and lettings; sensible buyers will factor that into budgeting and security measures. At the asking price of £70,000 this represents clear value if you are prepared to manage the lease, carry out improvement works and accept the local market conditions.
