This spacious two-bedroom end-of-terrace on Ackroyd Avenue combines Victorian character with modern energy efficiency, ideal for families or first-time buyers seeking room to grow. The front bay-windowed reception and large double principal bedroom deliver light-filled living and generous proportions unusual for the area. The generous dining room with built-in storage and French doors creates a clear indoor–outdoor flow to the private rear garden and communal green beyond.
The home benefits from contemporary eco-features: solar panels and a heat pump reduce running costs and contribute to an excellent EPC B rating. Practical details include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for home working and everyday family life. Local amenities, reliable transport links (including Abbey Hey station), sports and leisure facilities, and several well-rated schools are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note material, factual drawbacks: the property sits in a very deprived area and the plot is small. The building is solid-brick Victorian (1900–1929) with assumed no cavity insulation in the walls, so further insulation work may be needed to maximise comfort despite the EPC. Interior decor is dated in places and will benefit from modernisation to unlock full value. There is only one bathroom (a large four-piece) and limited outdoor space compared with newer houses.
Overall this end-terrace is a practical, characterful home with energy-saving upgrades and clear potential. It will particularly suit buyers who value size, transport and school catchments, and who are willing to carry out targeted internal and insulation improvements to personalise and future-proof the house.
