An affordable, chain-free two-bedroom ground floor flat offering period character and surprisingly generous proportions. High bay windows and original features give the living space a bright, characterful feel while neutral decor provides a ready-made blank canvas for personalisation.
The layout includes a kitchen with a breakfast bar and a modern shower room – practical basics already in place. The property is Freehold and has a small shared yard for low-maintenance outdoor space. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good, and transport links are close by, making city access straightforward.
Buyers should note this is an older mid-terrace property (circa 1900–1929) with solid brick walls that are assumed to lack cavity insulation; further upgrading (insulation, potential energy-efficiency improvements) may be required. The surrounding area is classified as deprived and local aspiration indicators are mixed; this influences resale and rental values and should be factored into longer-term plans.
For first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-entry-price home with character, this flat presents a clear opportunity: live in or let out while adding value through selective improvements. Council tax is very cheap and there is no flood risk. The property is best suited to someone comfortable with modest renovation and mindful of local market conditions.
