It will suit buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in home that also offers scope for cosmetic updating and personalisation to increase value. The modest service charge (approximately £59 bi-annually) is low, and council tax banding is described as cheap.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime levels and the plot is small, so outdoor space is limited. The house is described as an average-sized, traditional-style terrace internally; anyone wanting larger rooms or extensive gardens should consider this before viewing. Overall, the property represents an affordable, well-connected starter home or rental opportunity with clear potential for improvement.
