A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace offered chain free and vacant for immediate possession. The house has been partly modernised with a newly fitted kitchen, double glazing and gas central heating, making it habitable with minimal immediate expense. With 828 sq ft overall and a cellar for storage, it suits a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor targeting local rental demand.
Externally the plot is very small and the property backs onto a large communal paved yard that is currently in poor order and would benefit from resurfacing or landscaping. The area is in a deprived part of a major conurbation with above-average crime levels and local indicators showing lower educational attainment; these wider social factors may affect resale and rental yields.
There are also construction and location considerations to note: some building elements are assumed uninsulated (solid floors and sandstone walls), roof insulation is modest (c.100 mm), and the property lies within 1 km of a former coalfield/mining area. These factors could increase heating costs and mean future buyers should allow budget for insulation or remedial works.
Practical positives include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, good local transport links (A638, Batley train station, local buses), nearby shops and schools, and a very low council tax band (A). Overall this is a low-price, low-commitment opportunity best for buyers comfortable with a modest terrace in a challenging local market or investors prepared to carry light refurbishment to improve condition and value.
