This deceptively spacious three-bedroom mid-terrace offers generous room sizes across nearly 970 sqft, gardens front and rear, plus a garage — rare for the price band. The house retains Edwardian character with solid brick construction, high principal bedroom and original features in the living room, while the large dining-kitchen provides flexible family living. Heating is by mains gas boiler with double glazing; the property is freehold and council tax band A, keeping ongoing costs low.
The layout suits first-time buyers or growing families seeking space to personalise. Bedroom three sits on the second floor with sloping ceilings and built-in storage; the house has one bathroom and will benefit from some modernisation to kitchen, decor and possibly insulation. Buyers should note the walls are likely uninsulated (as-built solid brick) and some updating may be needed to meet current standards.
Location is practical: local shops, pubs and good primary and secondary schools are nearby, and Rabbit Ings Country Park is within easy reach for outdoor walks. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are reported good, supporting home working or streaming. However, the area scores as very deprived with above-average crime rates; purchasers should weigh neighbourhood factors alongside the low asking price and strong space-for-money value.
