Recently refurbished and offered with no upward chain, this two-bedroom mid-terrace on Hawthorn Terrace provides straightforward starter-home or buy-to-let appeal. The layout includes a lounge, separate dining room, fitted kitchen, ground-floor shower room and a first-floor bathroom — practical living over two stories with 775 sq ft of space.
Practical features include full uPVC double glazing, gas combi central heating and a self-contained rear yard. The property is freehold and in Council Tax band A, which keeps ongoing costs low. Virtual tours are available for an immediate first look.
Be clear on the compromises: the EPC rating is E (49) and the area sits within a selective licensing zone, which may require landlord registration and fees. The local neighbourhood shows higher-than-average crime rates and is classed as very deprived, factors buyers should weigh alongside the low purchase price.
Overall this terraced house suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable, ready-to-move-in home or an investor looking for a low-entry rental with easy maintenance. Its period character, practical room layout and modest running costs are genuine strengths; buyers wanting higher energy performance or a quieter neighbourhood should consider the listed drawbacks before viewing.
