Oakleigh is a charming Victorian end-terrace property that presents an appealing opportunity for those looking to create their ideal home. With an asking price of £190,000, which is significantly below the local average at £213/sqf compared to £275/sqf, this listing stands out as a fantastic entry point into the market.
