A straightforward two-bedroom mid-terrace on Drake Street offered with no onward chain. The house retains many period features—red brick façade and a front bay window—and benefits from a long open-plan lounge/dining room that gives flexible living space on the ground floor. There is an enclosed rear garden and a garage accessed from the rear, rare for terraces in the area.
The property is sold freehold and has mains gas central heating and uPVC double glazing. Practical positives include a large lounge-diner (approx. 8.00m max), useful fitted storage in the main bedroom, and a low council tax Band A which helps running costs. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as good.
The house requires modernisation throughout: the kitchen and bathroom are dated, internal finishes show wear, and the solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated. The area is in a very deprived band with above-average local crime, so buyers should factor in location-related considerations. Flood risk is low.
This home is best suited to a buyer prepared to renovate — either a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor targeting a low-entry terrace with refurbishment upside. Early viewing is recommended to assess condition and scope for improvement.
