2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable two-bedroom terrace with south garden and sunroom — ideal first home or value renovation..
No onward chain, freehold ownership
Two genuine double bedrooms
South-facing low-maintenance rear garden
Sunroom extension with garden access
Front yard and external outhouse for storage
Garage currently let by housing provider; rights may be limited
Cavity walls likely uninsulated; improvement potential
Located in a high-crime, very deprived area
Chain-free two-bedroom terrace offering straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. The layout is practical: entrance hall, kitchen, 15ft living room and a sunroom opening onto a south-facing, low-maintenance garden that captures good daylight.
Both bedrooms are doubles on the first floor and the bathroom is functional. The property has double glazing, mains gas central heating and a neat front yard with an outhouse for extra storage. A garage nearby is currently let by a housing provider to the current owner, which may affect immediate garage use but could offer future flexibility.
The house is solidly built (1930s–1940s era) and performs well on connectivity with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Note practical negatives: the area has high crime levels and pronounced deprivation, the cavity walls appear uninsulated, and some internal fittings are dated and will benefit from updating. Council tax is very low, and the freehold tenure removes leasehold concerns.
Overall this is a sensible, affordable entry-point property with outdoor space and scope to add value through modest upgrading. It will suit buyers prioritising price, a south-facing garden and easy connectivity, while those seeking a very quiet or affluent neighbourhood should note the local social challenges.
