This chain-free mid-terrace Victorian house offers practical city living with two bedrooms and an open-plan ground floor. The interior is neutrally decorated, bright and airy, ready for immediate occupation by a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental income. Double glazing and a mains-gas boiler provide basic comfort, and fast broadband plus excellent mobile signal suit modern needs.
The property includes a small, private rear garden that provides outdoor space for relaxation or light gardening. Rooms are well proportioned for the footprint (approximately 894 sq ft) with a sizable principal bedroom and a flexible second room suitable for a child or home office. The kitchen is functional and naturally lit, supporting everyday cooking and entertaining.
Buyers should note the location sits within a very deprived area with high local crime levels; purchasers concerned about resale or family safety should factor this into their decision. The building dates from 1930–1949 and the cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, so buyers may wish to budget for energy-efficiency improvements. Double glazing installation date is unknown and some services/appliances have not been tested, so a full survey is recommended.
Priced at £150,000 with freehold tenure and no onward chain, the house presents straightforward value for first-time buyers wanting an affordable city-base, or investors targeting rental demand near strong public transport links. The home’s neutral condition means modest cosmetic DIY could add value quickly, while more substantial upgrades (insulation, windows, heating servicing) would improve running costs and long-term appeal.
