This compact Victorian mid-terrace offers straightforward living across lower-ground, ground, first and second floors — suited to a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The house has been updated with a modern fitted kitchen, double glazing throughout and gas central heating, giving ready-to-live-in accommodation with useful cellar storage and utility space.
Internally the layout provides a ground-floor lounge, kitchen with cellar access, a first-floor double bedroom and bathroom, plus a second double bedroom on the top floor. Room sizes are modest and the overall footprint is small-to-average (circa 792 sq ft), so the property suits a couple, small family or rental use rather than buyers needing generous living space or a large garden.
Buyers should note material considerations: the EPC is rated E and the solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy bills and improvement costs are likely to be higher than modern builds. The property sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime levels — important for owner-occupiers and landlords to consider when assessing suitability and insurance costs.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, mains gas central heating, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, plus very cheap council tax band A. On-street parking is unallocated. For investors, the combination of two double bedrooms, modest purchase price and nearby amenities/public transport could deliver rental demand; for first-time buyers this is a lower-cost entry into owner-occupation, albeit with foreseeable maintenance and energy-efficiency work required.
