This well-presented mid-terrace offers two genuine double bedrooms, a bright living room and a practical rear patio that doubles as private off-street parking. The interior is neutral and move-in ready, with gas central heating and double glazing providing everyday comfort. Its compact 640 sq ft footprint suits a first home or buy-to-let investment with low running council tax costs (Band A).
The layout is straightforward: living room to the front, kitchen to the rear with direct access to the yard, and two bedrooms plus a family bathroom upstairs. The rear yard is low-maintenance and secure — useful as an outdoor sitting area, safe play space or private parking. The property has an EPC rating of C and mains gas boiler with radiators.
Notable practical points: the property sits in an area classified as very deprived, though the street itself reports very low crime and good local amenities, schools and transport links. The walls are cavity-built with no confirmed insulation (assumed), which may mean further insulation work could improve efficiency. Buyers should note the build era and glazing have unknown install dates; any buyer seeking guarantees on services or appliances should arrange their own checks.
Overall, this home represents a straightforward, affordable entry to homeownership in OL2 — a compact, tidy house with secure parking and genuine rental/first-time-buyer appeal, balanced by potential improvement costs to boost long-term energy performance.
