This garden-fronted Victorian terrace blends period character with practical modern updates across a compact, well-laid-out footprint. The ground-floor extension creates two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen and bathroom, while two first-floor bedrooms suit a starter household or a rental layout. Recent redecoration and new carpets mean the home is ready to move into with minimal immediate works.
Practical running costs are favourable: a mains-gas boiler and radiators provide central heating, double glazing is installed, council tax sits in Band A, and there is no flood risk. The long lease (effectively 999 years) and clear possession make this a straightforward purchase for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking predictable tenure and low initial legal complexity.
Notable limitations are clear and factual. Outdoor space is small — an enclosed rear yard and modest forecourt garden — so the property is unsuitable for buyers seeking a large garden. The walls are original solid brick with no known insulation, so buyers should expect higher heating demand or future retrofit costs. The area scores as more deprived and local crime is average; nearby amenities and several ‘Good’ schools mitigate this for families.
Mechanical and electrical records exist: a Gas Safety Certificate dated July 2025 and an EICR from July 2021 are available. Buyers should commission up-to-date checks if desired; no full-service history for other systems is provided. Overall, the house offers sensible first-home value or rental potential with straightforward cosmetic or efficiency improvements to increase comfort and returns.
