This three-bedroom mid-terrace offers a practical family layout across two storeys with two reception rooms and a compact fitted kitchen. The property benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a low-maintenance, block‑paved rear garden that also serves as off‑street parking via double gates. Being chain‑free and around 848 sq ft, it’s well suited to first‑time buyers or investors looking for straightforward access to commuter routes.
Local schools (including a nearby Outstanding secondary) and regular bus, rail and motorway links make the location convenient for working families. The property’s period exterior and bay window give it character; inside, the living room with inset fireplace provides a cosy focal point. Broadband speeds are fast, supporting home working or streaming needs.
The house is in a broadly deprived, ageing urban area and recorded crime levels are above average; buyers should factor neighbourhood considerations into their decision. Internally the property shows dated fittings and some mid‑century finishes; it will require updating to modern tastes and may suit someone looking to refurbish rather than move straight in.
Practical positives include very low council tax and freehold tenure. The small plot and enclosed, paved rear make upkeep inexpensive but limit gardening options. All services and fittings are untested; prospective purchasers should arrange their own inspections and surveys.
