This two-bedroom mid-terrace freehold is offered chain-free and suits buyers seeking an affordable first home or a buy-to-let with straightforward refurbishment potential. The layout provides a generous front lounge, rear kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a shower room over two storeys. Room proportions are favourable for the size, with built-in storage and loft access.
The property requires updating throughout — cosmetic and likely mechanical work is needed to modernise kitchen, bathroom and finishes. The walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation; double glazing is present but installation date is unknown. Energy rating D and basic gas central heating mean running costs are reasonable, while council tax sits in band A.
Externally the house sits on a pedestrianised street with a small paved forecourt and rear yard — low-maintenance but with limited outside space and modest plot size. Transport links are strong for the area, with a nearby metro station and fast broadband/mobile coverage making the house practical for commuters.
Buyers should note the wider area context: very high recorded crime and a very deprived local area classification. Schools nearby vary in Ofsted outcomes. For those prepared to invest in refurbishment, the property offers value and immediate occupancy potential; for others, the neighbourhood and required works are material considerations.
