This neatly presented end-terrace on Osborne Street is a practical choice for first-time buyers seeking a low-maintenance, characterful home close to town. The house is offered freehold and largely ‘turn-key’ with a fitted kitchen, modern bathroom, gas central heating and double glazing to principal windows — ready for immediate occupation.
Accommodation is compact but well laid out across lower ground, ground and first floors: an open-plan living/kitchen, useful cellar and two bedrooms. The cellar provides clear potential to create extra living space (subject to building regs and any necessary works), offering scope to add value for owner-occupiers or landlords.
Externally there are small, well-kept planted areas to the front and side and an enclosed rear yard suitable for light outdoor use. Practical perks include very low council tax (Band A), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy access to the town centre, university and local amenities.
Important considerations: the plot and rooms are compact and most spaces are average-sized rather than spacious. The property sits in an area with higher-than-average local crime — buyers should consider security measures. The external stone walls date from the early 1900s and are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, which may affect long-term energy efficiency and running costs. Any basement conversion will require consent and building works. Overall this is a sensible, affordable entry-level home with good immediate usability and modest scope for improvement.
