A freshly renovated Victorian mid-terrace offered chain-free, this freehold property provides a practical, move-in-ready option for first-time buyers or downsizers. The ground floor offers two reception rooms and a modern fitted kitchen; upstairs are two well-proportioned bedrooms and a newly fitted three-piece bathroom. The sunny, low-maintenance rear yard and external outbuilding add useful storage and a private outdoor spot.
The house benefits from double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators, and an overall generous internal area (approx. 963 sq ft) for its layout. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — useful for home working or streaming. Council Tax is very low (Band A), and there is no risk of flooding.
Notable negatives are the property's location within a very deprived area with above-average crime levels, which may concern some buyers and affect resale values. The building likely has solid brick walls with no cavity insulation (as-built), so upgrading insulation could be advisable and will improve running costs. The plot is small and the property is an urban mid-terrace, so there is limited outdoor space.
Overall this is a large-feeling, immaculately presented period house ready for immediate occupation. It suits buyers seeking an affordable, low-maintenance starter home close to local amenities and schools, but purchasers should factor potential improvement works (wall insulation, longer-term security upgrades) and the local area profile into their decision.
