Set over three storeys, this Victorian end-terrace offers practical space for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The property benefits from bay-front living room, two reception rooms and an attic third bedroom with fitted storage — a useful layout for families or sharers. Sold with no onward chain and freehold tenure, it’s ready for a quick purchase.
The house has gas central heating and double glazing, and the bathroom and kitchen are serviceable. Period features such as a bay window, cornicing and a cast-iron fireplace add character, while room sizes are generally average for an urban terrace. The enclosed rear garden is small and low-maintenance.
Notable drawbacks are the location in a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime levels and solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation — upgrading thermal performance may be required. Some internal updating is likely needed to maximise value; the property is a practical renovation or rental opportunity rather than a move-in-perfect home.
Viewing is recommended to assess condition and potential. With fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, the house suits modern living once cosmetic and energy-efficiency improvements are made.
