Set on a quiet no-through road in Tredworth, this chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace offers straightforward entry into homeownership or a rental investment. The house retains period red-brick character and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and a small enclosed rear garden. Local amenities, good primary schools and fast transport links are within walking distance, making everyday life convenient.
Internally the rooms are modest in scale: a living room with fireplace, kitchen and utility space leading to the ground-floor bathroom, with two bedrooms upstairs. The property is described as needing modernisation, so it suits buyers planning cosmetic upgrades or a light refurbishment to add value and personalise the layout.
Practical considerations are clear: the home is freehold with cheap council tax and good digital connectivity, but it lies in a deprived area with higher-than-average crime and a medium flood risk. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor potential energy-efficiency improvements into budgets.
Overall this is a compact, affordable property aimed at first-time buyers or investors able to manage refurbishment work. The combination of chain-free sale, nearby schools rated Good, and a private garden make it an attractive starting point for someone seeking a manageable project in Gloucester.
