A compact, chain-free Victorian mid-terrace with two double bedrooms and two reception rooms, convenient for Watford town centre, stations and local grammar schools. The house is built of solid brick, has double glazing and mains gas heating, and occupies a small, low-maintenance plot with on-street permit parking.
The property requires refurbishment throughout — interiors are dated and there is scope for modernisation and internal reconfiguration to improve layout and value. There is potential to extend subject to planning permission, but the plot and terrace setting limit substantial external expansion. Buyers should note assumed lack of wall insulation in the original solid brick construction.
This home suits a first-time buyer seeking a project close to transport links and amenities or an investor wanting a straightforward refurbishment let. Practical positives include a separate utility area, downstairs cloakroom, an en-suite bathroom to one bedroom, and fast broadband/mobile signal. Factors to weigh before viewing: small overall footprint, high local crime statistics, and on-street parking only.
