Three-bedroom starter with garden and strong commuting links.
Chain free Victorian terrace with period sash windows
A chain-free Victorian terraced cottage offering clear potential for a first-time buyer prepared to modernise. The property has three bedrooms, a compact footprint (approx. 636 sq ft) and proportionate rear garden with shed and gated access to a shared service track. Its traditional features include sash windows and a period brick façade.
The layout is practical for a starter home: sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, family bathroom and three bedrooms (one small, currently used as a dressing room). Main positives are the town-centre convenience, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus easy commuting links by road and rail. Council Tax sits in Band A, keeping running costs low.
Important considerations: the house requires refurbishment throughout and benefits from updating to heating, kitchen and bathrooms. The overall size and plot are small and on-street parking is first-come, first-served. The local area is relatively deprived and recorded crime is above average; buyers should research neighbourhood safety and suitability.
For buyers willing to invest time and budget, this is a value-led opportunity close to schools, shops and transport. An investor could refurbish and let, while a first-time buyer could personalise the home and benefit from low council tax and central access.
