This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Oliver Street offers an accessible, chain-free purchase in a well-established Northlea neighbourhood. Set over two storeys with a fully boarded loft, the house combines period character with practical modern comforts such as gas central heating and double glazing. Its compact, efficiently laid-out 845 sq ft footprint suits first-time buyers or small families seeking a manageable home close to local amenities.
Internally the property is presented in tidy condition and provides a living room with a focal fireplace, a modern kitchen, and one family bathroom. Three bedrooms upstairs give genuine family flexibility or room for a home office; the loft provides extra storage or scope for conversion subject to consents. The small private rear yard offers an outdoor space for children or pets and low-maintenance upkeep.
Important considerations: the property sits in an area described as deprived with average local crime and blue-collar terraces nearby. Plot size is small and the house is mid-terrace, so external space is limited. While presented well, buyers should expect typical Victorian-era maintenance items and potential for targeted updating to maximise long-term value. Council tax costs are low and broadband speeds are reported fast, which is practical for remote working.
Overall, this freehold, chain-free home is a straightforward, affordable entry into homeownership or a modest investment opportunity. Its location near good primary and secondary schools, shops and transport links makes it particularly suitable for first-time buyers or young families wanting a practical base with future improvement potential.
