This recently renovated Victorian mid-terrace offers two double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a small rear garden — an accessible step onto the property ladder or a straightforward buy-to-let. The house is offered chain free and freehold, with fast broadband availability and a D63 EPC rating.
Practical comforts include mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) and full double glazing. The front bay window and period fireplace add character, while the layout gives separate living and dining spaces plus a utility area off the kitchen. On-street parking sits to the front and local transport links put the bus and train stations within easy walking distance.
Be clear about the location: the property lies in a very deprived neighbourhood with higher-than-average crime levels, which will affect long-term resale and tenancy demand. The plot is small and parking is on-street only. The house was built before 1900 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, which may mean higher running costs despite recent refurbishments.
For first-time buyers this is a low-entry, low-tax (Council Tax Band A) opportunity close to schools, shops and commuter routes. Investors should weigh the strong rental potential and low purchase price against the local social and crime indicators when modelling returns.
