This three-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian house offers a compact, well-presented home close to Nottingham city centre — a straightforward option for a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in property. The layout includes a separate living and dining room, a modern kitchen and bathroom, and a converted loft bedroom, making good use of the 689 sq ft footprint.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, no upward chain, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy access to public transport, shops, universities and local amenities. The rear courtyard is low-maintenance and there is on-street parking to the front. The property is decorated throughout and benefits from period features such as original flooring and fireplaces that add character.
Buyers should consider a few material drawbacks: the overall footprint and plot are small, the rear garden is a concrete courtyard rather than lawn, and parking is on-street only. The loft bedroom is served by an electric storage heater (less efficient than mains central heating), and the boiler and a low-flush WC are housed in an outbuilding in the garden — something to check for access and condition. The area is classed as very deprived with higher local crime levels, which may affect long-term desirability or rental prospects.
For a first-time buyer wanting a compact, characterful home with minimal immediate work and excellent transport links, this property represents a practical, affordable entry to Nottingham’s housing market. Investors may also find potential for steady rental demand given proximity to universities and the city centre, but should weigh local area issues.
