This traditional Victorian mid-terrace on Bassett Street is a compact, affordable three-bedroom starter home with clear scope to modernise. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, galley-style kitchen, ground-floor bathroom, and three first-floor bedrooms — solid bones and period stone frontage give the property character and practical room separation for family living.
The rear enclosed, multi-level garden with artificial lawn, outbuilding storage and rear lane access is a genuine bonus for this type of terrace. Double glazing has been installed (post-2002) and the property uses mains gas central heating, reducing immediate expenditure on glazing or heating replacement. Freehold tenure and no onward chain simplify purchase logistics for a buyer ready to renovate.
Buyers should be aware this home requires renovation: internal finishes are dated, walls likely lack insulation, and broadband speeds in the area are slow. The wider area shows higher-than-average crime and socioeconomic deprivation; purchasers should consider these local factors alongside the low asking price and very cheap council tax band.
For first-time buyers or investors seeking value, the house offers a low-entry price and room for uplift through straightforward improvements — insulating walls, updating the kitchen and bathroom, and cosmetic redecoration would substantially increase comfort and resale potential. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout and garden access in person.
