This Victorian mid-terrace offers a traditionally laid-out three-bedroom home with period character and scope to add value. The property extends to around 1,045 sq ft and features a front bay window, high ceilings, solar panels and double glazing. Ground floor layout includes lounge, dining room, kitchen, utility and a downstairs shower room; three bedrooms and a family bathroom occupy the first floor.
The house is structurally simple: solid brick walls, mains gas boiler with radiators, and typical early 20th-century construction. Many rooms are serviceable but dated — the kitchen and utility area would benefit from modernisation, and some cosmetic updating throughout will improve comfort and market appeal. The rear garden is small and enclosed; parking is on-street.
Location brings both advantages and drawbacks. It’s close to local schools, bus routes and city amenities, and council tax is low; broadband and mobile signal are strong. However, the area records high crime and is rated very deprived, so buyers should factor local social conditions into their plans. This property suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable period home to personalise, or an investor looking for a renovation/refurb opportunity in a city location.
