With some decoration, a new bathroom and kitchen, this two up two down appears to be a very solid property for someone looking to get onto the housing ladder.

The woodchip wallpaper may have been all the rage at one point, but this property could do with some stylish touches to bring it up to date.

Some positives about the house that we can find. Most of the ripping out of the kitchen and bathroom has already taken place, and the boiler, in the kitchen, appears to look fairly new. We know it’s not much, but at this price, everything is a positive.
