Guide price £190,000 to £200,000. This mid-terrace Victorian townhouse offers traditional character with practical everyday living. High ceilings, sash windows, bay windows and a working fireplace provide period charm across two reception rooms and three bedrooms (one suited to a study or nursery). The fitted kitchen and single bathroom suit a household seeking straightforward accommodation rather than a luxury finish.
Externally there is a small, low-maintenance front area and a paved courtyard garden — manageable outdoor space for pots and a seating area rather than extensive lawn. The property is freehold, has double glazing, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making it well-equipped for modern living.
Location is convenient for local schools, bus and rail links and nearby amenities, which will appeal to first-time buyers or young families. Important considerations: the house sits in an area of high crime and very high deprivation, the plotted garden is small, the original granite walls likely lack insulation, and there is only one bathroom. These factors should be weighed against the affordable guide price and council tax banding, which is described as cheap.
