This Victorian mid-terrace offers three bedrooms, a sunny south-west rear garden and ready-to-live-in accommodation suited to a first-time buyer. The house retains period character, bay windows and a neat, low-maintenance forecourt while modern glazing and a C-rated EPC keep running costs reasonable.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (around 880 years remaining), low ground rent (£10 per year), mains gas central heating and useful loft space for conversion subject to consent. The property measures about 755 sq ft, with a single bathroom and a compact footprint that keeps maintenance straightforward.
Location is on a tree-lined street near local shops, parks and a range of schools; the Derker Metrolink is approximately a 20-minute walk. Utilities are strong — excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — and recorded crime is very low, though the wider area is classed as very deprived.
Considerations: the home is modest in size and has cavity walls listed as without insulation, which could affect heating costs. There is one bathroom and some nearby schools have lower Ofsted ratings, so buyer priorities such as space, commute and schooling should be checked. Overall this is a practical, affordable entry-level home with scope to improve value through loft conversion or internal modernisation.
