A compact Victorian terraced house on Zinc Street offered chain-free and ready for a first step on the property ladder. The property’s stone facade, period features and bright living area give an immediate sense of character, while two double bedrooms upstairs meet practical family or sharer needs. The modern kitchen includes a washing machine and fridge, reducing initial moving costs.
Outside, the small rear garden is a genuine sun trap and a pleasant private space for evening relaxation or potted gardening — strawberries are reported to appear each summer. Practical details include mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, affordable council tax, and on-street parking close to local shops and transport links into the city centre.
Buyers should note material context: the area records high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term resale or rental values. The property is average-sized (736 sq ft) with small rooms and limited plot size. The building dates from 1900–1929 and the external walls likely lack insulation, so further thermal upgrades could be needed. Glazing is recorded as double glazing with an unknown installation date; confirm on inspection.
This house suits a first-time buyer or small household seeking an affordable, characterful home close to the city. It provides immediate occupation with scope to improve energy performance and interior space over time, offering a manageable renovation project rather than a full refurbishment.
