This compact Victorian mid-terrace occupies a cobbled street setting and offers unexpected breadth for its size: a double bedroom, a generous loft room and valley-facing views that create a peaceful feel. The property is freehold and chain-free, making it an accessible purchase for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward acquisition.
Internally the living room and kitchen are functional and described as move-in ready, while the loft provides flexible extra space for a home office or occasional guest use. Practical positives include very cheap council tax (Band A), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for commuters or remote working.
Buyers should note this is an older, stone-built terrace (pre-1900) with assumed uninsulated solid walls and electric storage heating, so heating costs and insulation upgrades are likely future expenses. The exterior shows weathered period features and the images suggest some cosmetic renovation may be desirable to maximise comfort and resale value.
The property will be sold via Secure Sale online auction with immediate exchange of contracts available — buyers must follow the auction terms and be prepared to complete quickly. The local area is mixed: convenient for schools and amenities, but with above-average crime statistics and broader area deprivation to be considered by purchasers.
