This bay-fronted Victorian end-terrace offers two reception rooms, two good-sized bedrooms and clear scope to add value through modernisation. The traditional layout, high ceilings and period details such as a front fireplace create a strong base for a refreshed family home or rental refurbishment.
The kitchen and bathroom are dated and the property is described as needing renovation; buyers should expect updating to fixtures, finishes and probable improvements to heating and insulation (solid brick walls likely uninsulated). The small rear yard and outbuilding provide secure, low-maintenance outdoor space and handy storage, accessed via a side passage.
Practical factors are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators, double glazing of unknown age, freehold tenure and a low Council Tax Band B. On-street parking is available but there is no private driveway. The immediate area is well served by shops, schools and regular bus links, with beaches and parks within easy reach.
This home suits first-time buyers wanting to personalise and add equity, or investors targeting a renovation-for-rental opportunity. Be aware of local challenges including higher-than-average crime levels and a compact plot size; a survey is recommended to confirm services and structural condition before commitment.
