- Main-door lower villa with private front and rear gardens
- Two double bedrooms and one three-piece bathroom
- Bright reception/dining room with built-in storage
- Gas central heating and double glazing installed
- Private shed included; useful external storage
- On-street parking only; no private driveway
- Located in a very deprived area; affects resale potential
- Modest overall footprint; garden is small-to-average
This main-door lower villa offers practical two-bedroom living with private front and rear gardens, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking space and outdoor access without stairs. The reception/dining room is bright, and the fitted galley kitchen opens directly to the rear garden — convenient for everyday life and entertaining in fine weather.
The flat benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, and good built-in storage in the entrance hall. At about 681 sq ft, the layout feels roomy for a ground-floor apartment; the included garden shed adds useful external storage. Council Tax band C keeps running costs relatively affordable.
Notable considerations: the property sits in an area classified as very deprived with a local profile of hard-pressed flat dwellers, which will factor into long-term resale values and local services. Parking is on-street only, and the garden and overall footprint are modest. The building’s mid-20th-century pebble-dash exterior reflects its age and may need ongoing external maintenance over time.
Overall, this is a straightforward, move-in-able starter home with scope to personalise and improve. It will suit buyers prioritising ground-floor access, private outdoor space and a central local location over long-term investment uplift from an affluent neighbourhood.
