This freehold mid-terraced house offers three generous bedrooms, two bathrooms and no onward chain — a straightforward purchase for a buyer wanting immediate possession or a landlord seeking a letting opportunity. The layout includes two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen, a ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor shower room, giving practical family-friendly accommodation across two storeys.
The property will appeal to first-time buyers or investors prepared to carry out light updating. The accommodation is well proportioned for its age, with double glazing and gas central heating in place, but cosmetic renewal and modernisation would improve energy performance and market value (current EPC rating D). The rear yard is small and low-maintenance; there is on-street parking only.
Location benefits include proximity to local shops, primary schools rated Good, bus links and fast broadband potential. Buyers should note the area is in a very deprived ward with higher-than-average crime, and the property sits in an ex-mining district — buyers must obtain mining reports during legal checks. The sale can proceed with a sitting tenant if required, which may suit investors but limits vacant-possession buyers.
Practical details: council tax band A (low running costs), mains gas and mains services present. Overall, this is a sensible, affordable purchase for someone seeking a spacious starter home or an investment requiring modest refurbishment to add value.
