Two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace with practical layout
Set on a short residential street, this two-bedroom end terrace offers a practical, neutrally finished home suited to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The ground floor reception room leads to a separate kitchen, while two upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom complete the living accommodation. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, and useful cellar storage. With 1,107 sq ft overall, the layout provides clear potential to reconfigure or improve to add value.
The house dates from the early 20th century and retains period brick construction; walls are likely solid with no built-in insulation, so buyers should factor potential thermal upgrades into running-cost plans. The long lease (888 years) removes most leasehold timing concerns, but tenure remains leasehold. The property sits in an area with strong local amenities, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and very low local crime — convenient for everyday living and attractive for tenants.
Practical considerations: the second bedroom is compact, and the cellars — handy for storage — should be inspected for condition and damp risk before exchange. The wider neighbourhood is classed as deprived, which may affect future capital-growth projections; however, low asking price and standard Victorian construction create straightforward refurbishment possibilities. Early viewing is advised to assess layout and renovation potential firsthand.
Overall, this is a budget-friendly entry onto the ladder or a manageable investment purchase. Its central services, long lease, and solid fabric make it a sensible project for buyers prepared to carry out modest improvements to enhance comfort and value.
