Affordable starter or investment with garden, needs modernization and insulation work.
- Victorian mid-terrace, built before 1900, freehold
A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering two bedrooms, two reception rooms and a small rear garden on a large plot. The house is freehold with solid brick walls (assumed no insulation) and double glazing fitted before 2002. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; the property totals about 670 sq ft and has no flood risk.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor comfortable with modest updating. Interiors are functional but dated: a medium lounge with fireplace, separate dining room and a small kitchen. The main bedroom is generously proportioned; the second bedroom is smaller and well suited as a home office or child’s room. The rear garden has artificial grass and a storage shed for low-maintenance outdoor space.
Practical positives include very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband; local schools include several rated Good. Drawbacks to budget for include likely insulation upgrades (solid brick, assumed uninsulated), dated fixtures, and general modernisation throughout. Council tax is very low, and the property is being marketed with a public notice of an offer (interested parties must submit higher offers in writing before exchange).
Overall, this terraced house is a straightforward, affordable starter or buy-to-let opportunity in a major conurbation. It delivers space and location potential but will reward buyers prepared to invest in upgrading thermal efficiency and internal finishes.
