This two-bedroom Victorian end-terrace combines cottage character with practical, updated living spaces. A welcoming living room centres on a multi-fuel burner and opens to a modern kitchen-diner, giving a comfortable layout for everyday life. The house sits in a village location close to good local schools and amenities.
Upstairs are two generously sized double bedrooms and a single bathroom. The rear porch/utility and a useful brick outbuilding add practical storage and everyday convenience. Outside, the fully enclosed garden is paved and gravelled for low maintenance, suited to buyers wanting easier upkeep rather than large lawns.
Notable points for buyers: the property is freehold and will be sold at auction, built in the 1840s with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), and carries an EPC rating of D. The plot is small and parking is on-street opposite. The area has fast broadband but sits within a very deprived local authority area, and crime levels are average.
This home will suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a period cottage with immediate liveability and modest running costs (Council Tax Band A). Buyers should budget for potential energy-efficiency improvements (wall insulation, possible upgrades) and take the auction sale process into account.
