A substantial Victorian mid-terrace on Edwards Road currently arranged as two self-contained flats — an immediate income opportunity for investors. The house retains attractive period features such as bay windows, high ceilings and arched doorways, while offering straightforward rental layouts: ground-floor flat plus first-floor/loft accommodation.
The property is sold freehold and chain free, with low-maintenance fore and rear gardens and good broadband and mobile signal for tenants. The building needs updating in places: electric storage heating, likely uninsulated solid brick walls, and dated fittings throughout; these are reflected in the price and give scope for value-add refurbishment or higher-yield conversions (HMO potential subject to consent).
Location factors suit rental demand: close to shops, transport links and a mix of schools, but note the area has very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived — important for investor underwriting and tenancy selection. Overall, this is a hands-on investment for buyers comfortable with refurbishment, management duties and active lettings.
