A three-bedroom mid-terrace on Hastings Street offers spacious internal floorspace (approx. 1,507 sq ft) at a low entry price, making it attractive for first-time buyers or investors seeking rental income. The house retains period character — high ceilings, bay windows and decorative cornices — combined with practical modern comforts like mains gas central heating and double glazing. Council Tax Band A and freehold tenure reduce ongoing costs.
Accommodation is arranged over two main floors with a loft/dormer room, generous lounge with bay window, separate dining room (flexible as a bedroom), fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom. A small rear courtyard provides low-maintenance outdoor space. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, useful for working from home or tenants.
The property sits in a very deprived area with high local crime levels and challenged wider-area indicators; buyers should consider location when assessing resale or letting prospects. The house shows signs of prior modernisation but images and notes indicate some finishing and minor maintenance are required (visible wiring tidying and general cosmetic work). Double glazing is older (installed before 2002) and buyers may want to check the boiler and central heating servicing history.
This home suits a pragmatic first-time buyer or a landlord prepared to manage a property in a tougher neighbourhood. At the asking price there is clear potential for value uplift through targeted refurbishment, but purchasers should carry out independent checks on structure, services and the local market before committing.
