Affordable three-bed terrace for refurbishment in central St. Helens.
Three-bedroom Victorian terrace, about 840 sq ft
This compact Victorian terrace on Shaw Street offers three bedrooms across about 840 sq ft in a town-centre setting. Built circa 1900, the house retains period character from its exterior but the interior is basic and will need cosmetic refurbishment to reach modern standards.
The property suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking for affordable entry into St. Helens. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, and the long lease (800 years) removes immediate tenure concerns. Council tax is very cheap and there is no flood risk.
Buyers should be realistic about the neighbourhood and the property’s condition. The area is very deprived with very high local crime; rooms are small, ceilings are low-to-standard, and fittings and floor coverings are worn. The rear garden is small and low-maintenance rather than private or substantial.
Taken at the advertised price, this terraced house offers clear renovation potential and rental appeal, but it requires upfront works and a buyer comfortable with a constrained urban location and safety considerations.
