A bright first-floor Victorian flat offering three good-sized bedrooms and spacious living at an entry-level price. Offered chain-free and with a very long lease (977 years), this property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking immediate occupancy or straightforward rental potential. The building retains period character externally and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC rating of C.
Internally the layout is practical: a roomy lounge, fitted kitchen, three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. Bedroom three has fixed steps to a loft space with a Velux window, light and power — useful for storage or future conversion subject to consent. The flat is presented in neutral tones and is ready to move into, though some cosmetic updating (carpets and finishes) may be preferred by new owners.
Practical positives include convenient transport links with Percy Main Metro within walking distance, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Low council tax and close proximity to schools and local shops add to everyday affordability. Externally there is a shared rear yard with gated lane access.
Material considerations are clear: the property sits in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates, which may affect resale/rental desirability. The building is solid-brick and likely uninsulated in the walls (assumed), so further insulation or energy-efficiency works could be needed to improve running costs. Overall internal size is modest (approximately 571 sq ft), so buyers should expect compact room proportions despite the “three-bedroom” layout.
