This compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace on Wilberforce Street offers an affordable freehold entry to the local market. The house has a generous lounge, practical kitchen, downstairs WC and a small paved front yard with a rear yard and shed — a sensible layout for a first home or buy-to-let.
The fabric is traditional red brick with single-glazed windows and some outdated fittings; the kitchen and bathroom are serviceable but would benefit from modernization. The property presents clear potential for cosmetic improvement and modest renovation to increase comfort and rental value.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to schools, shops and regular bus links. Be aware the surrounding area scores high for deprivation and crime rates are very high, which will influence demand and insurance or tenancy considerations.
This is a straightforward, low-maintenance house for someone seeking to refurbish to their own taste or add to an investment portfolio. Council tax costs are very low and there is no flooding risk, but buyers should budget for window upgrades and general updating.
