A two-bedroom mid-20th century terraced house on Temperance Avenue, offered freehold and well suited to a first-time buyer or small-scale investor. The property has spacious reception rooms for its type, a boarded loft with power and a drop-down ladder, plus a small enclosed rear yard with gated access.
The house retains period character in a traditional brick terrace and benefits from double glazing and mains gas central heating. Practical positives include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low council tax, making running costs modest.
Notable issues are the property’s location in a very deprived area with high local crime and a very small plot. Walls are solid brick and likely uninsulated, and the interiors show dated décor — this home will suit someone prepared to update and improve thermal performance and finishes.
Overall, this is a budget-priced starter home or buy-to-let opportunity with scope to add value through cosmetic modernisation and insulation improvements. Buyers should factor in local area challenges when assessing long-term plans.
