## Description

We all know looks can be deceiving, can't we? And that certainly is the case with this spacious mid-terrace.

Originally an ex-local authority house, if you have ever seen a property like this, you will know they offer well-proportioned rooms throughout and, with off-road parking and a rear garden, offer excellent value for money.

In recent times, the property has updated double glazing and had a modern kitchen and bathroom installed. There is still some work to finish off, but this gives any prospective purchaser a chance to put their own stamp on things.

A house of this size and price would make an ideal purchase for first-time buyers.
