This newly refurbished mid-terrace on Cotmanhay Road offers three bedrooms across a compact, well-presented footprint — an accessible option for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. The property has been updated throughout with a bespoke kitchen, new bathroom, fresh decoration and new flooring, so it’s largely move-in ready and chain-free.
The house retains period character in its red-brick Victorian façade while benefiting from recent upgrades including double glazing and a modern gas boiler with radiators. A converted attic provides the third bedroom with rooflights bringing natural light to the top floor. The rear garden is low-maintenance timber/cement, suited to easy upkeep.
Practical considerations are clear: the home is small (circa 700 sq ft) and sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average local crime rates. Parking is on-street only, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (original construction pre-1900), which may affect heating costs despite the new boiler. Broadband speeds are fast, council tax is very low, and local schools and amenities are within walking distance.
Overall this is a cost-effective, low-upkeep starter home or rental unit for someone who values a ready-to-live-in property and is comfortable with an urban terraced setting and its associated neighbourhood challenges. Buyers wanting more living space, private parking or improved thermal performance should factor potential works into their plans.
