The Home That Already Feels Like Yours. Not a project to push through. Not a place to settle for. Somewhere you can actually imagine your Friday nights, your Saturday mornings, your friends round the table - from the moment you walk in.

Walk in on a Friday afternoon and you could have friends round by Saturday night. That is how ready this place is.

The front lounge and the dining room behind it are connected by an original arched doorway - the kind of detail that stops people mid-sentence when they walk in for the first time. A working log burner sits in the front room, a second decorative fireplace anchors the dining room, and the ceiling roses and original coving throughout are all still intact. Someone has already decorated in a clean, current neutral palette, so what you are walking into is a home that has genuine period character and already looks the part - not a renovation project dressed up as a bargain.

At 98 square metres, this is meaningfully larger than most two-bed terraces at this price. You feel that as soon as you step through the door.

The large serving hatch between the kitchen and dining room means someone can be putting drinks together while everyone else is already at the table - the spaces feel separate but connected in a way that works well when people come over. The kitchen is perfectly functional as it stands, and it is also the one obvious project for further down the line when you are ready to put your own stamp on it. Everything else is already sorted.

Beyond the kitchen, a large hallway gives you real storage space - easily enough for an American fridge freezer if you want one. And at the back of the ground floor, there is an additional room with its own window and radiator. A home office from day one if you work from home, or a spare room when people stay over.

Upstairs, both bedrooms are proper doubles with room for a bed, furniture and still enough space to move around comfortably. A glass balustrade runs along the landing - a small touch, but it makes the first floor feel lighter and more considered than most terraces at this price. The four-piece bathroom is up here too, which is where you actually want a bathroom rather than squeezed in downstairs.

Outside, there is a paved yard at the back with gated access - useful for bikes, bins and deliveries. Street parking is available directly outside, and the town centre is roughly a 20-minute walk away, with everyday shops and amenities much closer than that.

This is the property that proves first-time buying does not have to mean moving into someone else's leftovers. The character is real, the condition is right, and the only big decision you need to make is what you are cooking the night everyone comes round.

No onward chain - so when you are ready to move, there is nothing in the way. Get in touch to arrange a viewing.
