This traditional three-bedroom mid-terrace blends period character with practical modern upgrades. The principal lounge retains a feature fireplace and leads into a dining room, both served by a contemporary-style kitchen with built-in appliances. The property measures about 78 sqm (840 sq ft) and is offered freehold with very low Council Tax (Band A).
The accommodation includes three well-proportioned bedrooms, the master with fitted wardrobes, and a ground-floor shower room. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; windows are double glazed though the installation date is unknown. Outside is a small, traditional rear yard with rear access.
The house sits on the edge of the town centre with a wide range of shops, good primary and secondary schools nearby, frequent buses and fast broadband. These local amenities make it convenient for commuting, family life or letting. Note the area is classified as deprived with a higher local crime rate than average.
Important practical points: the exterior shows signs of wear and will need repair, the EPC is awaited, and services/appliances have not been tested. This property suits a buyer looking for affordable entry into homeownership, a value-led renovation project, or a lettable investment in a well-connected town-centre location.
