- End-terrace Victorian house, three/four bedrooms
- Close to UCLan and Preston city centre
- Freehold with no chain delay
- Double glazing and mains gas heating present
- Small plot with modest rear yard only
- Interiors dated; requires cosmetic renovation
- Area very deprived with very high crime
- Likely benefit from insulation and EPC improvements
A straightforward buy-to-let opportunity in central Preston, close to UCLan and the city centre. This late-Victorian end-terrace offers flexible three/four bedroom accommodation across two floors, gas central heating, double glazing and a small rear yard — ready for refurbishment to lift rental value.
The property is freehold and offered with no chain delay, making it appealing for investors seeking quick turnaround or landlords targeting student lets. Interiors are basic and dated: the hallway, staircase and fixtures show wear and will benefit from cosmetic updating and possible reconfiguration to maximise rental rooms.
Important practical points: the area records very high crime and is very deprived, which will affect tenant demand and rental levels; purchasers should factor in higher management and security costs. The house has cavity walls likely without added insulation and fixtures are older, so budget for energy improvements and modernization to improve EPC and long-term returns.
Overall this is a compact, low-cost entry into Preston’s rental market with clear upside through refurbishment and improved energy performance. Suited to investors or buyers prepared to renovate for rental or resale; viewings recommended to assess full potential.
