Set in the sought-after village of Barkby, this traditional two-bedroom mid-terrace offers a characterful starter home or buy-to-let in a quiet village setting. The property retains period features such as exposed beams and fireplaces, and benefits from gas central heating, double glazing and a low-maintenance courtyard to the rear.
The layout includes a reception room, small rustic kitchen, sun room, downstairs WC, two first-floor bedrooms and a bathroom. A boarded loft with a Velux window provides potential for conversion to extra living space (subject to necessary consents). The house is freehold with a modest footprint and an overall floor area of about 660 sq ft.
Important facts: the property has an EPC rating of D, is built of solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and sits in a high flood-risk area. Crime levels are above average locally. These are practical considerations for buyers and landlords; some updating and possible insulation work will be required to improve comfort and energy performance.
