Bright two-bedroom Victorian terrace offered chain-free, ideal for a first-time buyer or small-family starter. The house has double glazing, gas central heating and a small enclosed rear garden — practical features for everyday living in a compact urban home.
Accommodation is straightforward: entrance hall, reception room with fireplace, kitchen with utility space and ground-floor bathroom, plus two first-floor bedrooms. The property dates from early 20th century and retains period brick exterior; interior rooms are modest in size and would benefit from a careful program of modernization to unlock potential and improve layout and finishes.
Location is convenient for local shops, schools and transport links, with several nearby primary and secondary schools rated Good. Practical drawbacks to note: the area has higher-than-average crime and deprivation indicators, a medium flood risk, and the property shows signs of needing modernization. Buyers should budget for renovations and possible wall insulation improvement.
For buyers seeking an affordable entry into GL1, this freehold mid-terrace offers clear value: low council tax, good connectivity and immediate occupancy chain-free, with scope to add value through updating and reconfiguration.
