This mid-terraced three-bedroom house on St. Matthews Road offers an affordable entry into homeownership or a compact buy-to-let opportunity. The property has a practical, modern-style layout with a bright through reception, kitchen overlooking a private rear garden, and three well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs. At around 840 sq ft, it suits first-time buyers seeking manageable space or investors targeting steady rental demand in a major conurbation.
Externally the plot is small and low-maintenance, with a slabbed front path, lawn edges and gated access to communal/off-street parking at the rear. The home is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing (install date unknown). The construction period (circa 1967–75) and filled cavity walls are typical of the era and present a straightforward, conventional fabric to maintain.
Important practical points: the property will be sold via the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should be prepared for the auction process, an undisclosed reserve price, and a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the sale price, minimum £6,600). There is a medium flooding risk for the area and only one full bathroom plus a separate WC, which may affect family use or refurbishment plans. Prospective purchasers should verify tenure and have standard AML/ID checks ready.
In short, this is a compact, well-laid-out terraced home with realistic scope for cosmetic improvement and rental or owner-occupier use. It’s best suited to buyers who can move quickly through the auction process and who accept a modest plot and basic condition in exchange for an affordable purchase price and good local connectivity.
