A well-presented ground-floor flat offering two double bedrooms and a private rear yard, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking immediate rental potential. The apartment combines period character externally with a contemporary open-plan living room and modern kitchen and bathroom inside, so you can move in or rent out with minimal delay.
Practical details work in its favour: double glazing, gas central heating, and an EPC rating of C give reasonable running costs for the size (approximately 662 sq ft). The long lease (967 years) removes typical short-lease complications, and council tax is very low.
Be realistic about the location and fabric: the property sits in a deprived, high-crime area of a major conurbation, which will affect resale and tenant demand. The terrace is solid-brick construction from the early 20th century with no assumed cavity insulation, so heating costs and damp risk should be checked if planning significant long-term ownership or refurbishment.
Overall this is a practical, well-kept ground-floor flat that lets a buyer occupy quickly or let it out with little immediate work. It’s best for purchasers who prioritise value, a long lease, and proximity to local amenities over quiet or prestige neighbourhoods.
