Compact two-bed Victorian terrace — ideal starter home or buy-to-let near Xscape.
Chain free — immediate purchase possible
A compact, mid-terraced Victorian house offered chain free and well suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The layout is straightforward: small front lounge, contemporary dining kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. A four-year-old gas boiler and double glazing help with running costs, while council tax is very low.
The property sits close to major commuter routes, rail and bus links, and leisure destinations including Xscape and Junction 32 — convenient for travel and local amenities. The rear yard is low-maintenance with paved and gravelled areas and a garden shed, making upkeep simple for a busy occupant or tenant.
Notable negatives are the modest overall footprint and small rooms, which limit scope for expansion. The building is solid-brick Victorian with no known cavity insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for any energy-efficiency upgrades. On-street parking is available but not dedicated, and the local area records higher crime levels than average.
Viewings are recommended for buyers seeking an economical starter home or an investment with straightforward management. The property’s location and low running costs are strengths; however, accommodate the modest living space and potential fabric improvements in your plans.
