A classic Victorian mid-terrace, 23 Argyle Street offers a straightforward, practical two-bedroom layout that will appeal to first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors. The house presents two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, and a convenient ground-floor WC — ready for immediate occupation with scope to personalise. Period features such as a mid-20th-century fireplace and wood-effect flooring give character while the glazing and boiler provide current-day comfort (EPC C).
The property is leasehold and sits on a small paved front area with an enclosed rear yard and on-street parking. The solid-brick walls are likely uninsulated as originally built, so buyers should factor in potential insulation or energy-efficiency improvements. Council Tax Band A and low local crime are positive running-cost and safety considerations, while the BL9 location gives easy access to schools, shops and public transport for commuters.
For investors, the property’s size, two reception rooms and two bedrooms suit the rental market in this area classified for young families and social renting; rental demand is supported by nearby amenities and good broadband/mobile connectivity. For owner-occupiers, the house is an affordable entry into a period terrace with clear renovation upside — planned updates to insulation, cosmetic refurbishment or modernising bathrooms could add value.
Material points: the home is leasehold, built before 1900 on solid brick (assumed no cavity insulation), and sits in a generally deprived area which can affect long-term capital growth. There is no significant garden and parking is on-street. These factors are important when weighing running costs, upgrade scope and resale expectations.
