A compact two‑bedroom Victorian mid‑terrace offering an affordable entry into the WA9 market. The house is neutrally decorated with a newly fitted kitchen, a large open-plan living/dining room and a low‑maintenance rear yard — practical for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The lease has c.876 years remaining and council tax is in the lowest band, which keeps running costs down.
The property is currently tenanted (photographs pre-date current tenancy) and sits in an area undergoing regeneration, with new green spaces and easy access to supermarkets, bus routes and local shops. Schools nearby have generally good Ofsted ratings and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
Be candid about the downsides: the street sits within a very deprived ward with higher-than-average crime, and the building is an older solid-brick terrace likely without cavity insulation. Damp risk is noted as a potential concern for period terraced homes and some small modernization works may be needed to bring the property up to a contemporary standard. EPC grade D and a wet room are already installed.
For first-time buyers this is a cost-effective starter home close to amenities. For investors it offers straightforward rental appeal in a regenerating location, but factor in potential maintenance, modest refurbishment and the local area challenges when assessing yield and management plans.
