This mid-terrace, two-bedroom home offers a straightforward entry onto the property ladder with off-street parking, a rear garden and no onward chain. The layout includes two reception rooms and a fitted kitchen, making it adaptable for everyday family living or rental use. At about 883 sq ft, rooms are modest but sensible, and the property retains period features such as a bay window and chimney.
Practical systems are in place: mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, and cavity walls (insulation date unknown). The home was built c.1930–1949, so buyers should expect older construction details and consider surveying for any modernisation or insulation upgrades to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Location is convenient for local shops, bus links and schools, and the surrounding area offers a range of amenities. However, the neighbourhood is in a more deprived band and some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes; prospective buyers should weigh local context for family or investment plans. The property is freehold and council tax is described as low, which supports affordability for first-time purchasers.
