- Good-sized rear garden with side access
- Potential side plot for development (STPP)

Guide price £260,000–£275,000. This two-bedroom end-of-terrace red-brick cottage offers a compact, characterful home with a good-sized rear garden and scope to add value. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen and a family bathroom upstairs alongside two double bedrooms — all presented in clean but basic decorative order ready for modernization.
A key asset is the potential building plot to the side (subject to planning permission, STPP), opening possibilities for extension or a new build that could materially increase value. The property is freehold, sits on a decent plot for the area and faces the street with elevated access via steps to the front door.
Practical considerations: the house uses electric storage heaters and appears to be solid brick construction with no added wall insulation (assumed). Double glazing is present but install date is unknown. There is no flood risk, and broadband speeds are fast, but local crime levels are very high — a stark factual factor for buyers to weigh. The immediate area suits constrained renters and families in terraces and flats.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into ownership, or investors looking for a buy-to-let with uplift potential after improvement or development (STPP). Early inspection is recommended to assess internal condition and to explore extension feasibility with the local planning authority.
