This mid-terraced Victorian home on Verney Street offers clear value for first-time buyers, investors, or downsizers at a guide price of £100,000. The property is freehold, around 891 sq ft, and arranged over two storeys with an open-plan living and dining area and a kitchen opening to a private rear garden. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and there is no recorded flood risk.
Internally the layout is practical: two good-sized bedrooms plus a small reception off the master that could become a third bedroom with a simple stud-wall. The rear garden is longer than typical for terraces, with a patio, lawn and shed — useful outdoor space for families or tenants.
The house is a workable refurbishment project rather than a move-in-perfect home. Fixtures and finishes are dated and walls are assumed to lack cavity insulation; double-glazing is present but installation date is unknown. The area is a deprived, blue-collar terrace with higher local crime levels, so buyers should consider suitability for owner-occupation or rental strategies accordingly.
This property suits buyers seeking an affordable, adaptable home or a buy-to-let that can be improved to add rental value. The combination of three-room potential, outdoor space and low council tax makes it an accessible entry into the market, provided you budget for updating and security considerations.
