A two-bedroom Victorian terraced house on Lonsdale Street, offered with no chain and freehold tenure. The property provides a lounge, dining room, fitted kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms across a conventional layout, with double glazing and gas central heating already installed. At around 739 sq ft this is an average-sized home with period exterior character and straightforward room shapes.
This is marketed principally as a buy-to-let opportunity or a first-time purchase for someone happy to modernise. The house needs renovation throughout, so there is scope to add value with cosmetic and functional upgrades; room sizes and original features lend themselves to a practical refurbishment rather than a structural rebuild. Excellent commuting links and nearby amenities support rental demand.
Buyers should note important negatives: the property is in a very deprived area with a very high local crime rate, and the immediate neighbourhood profile is dominated by private renting and new arrivals. Local schools are mixed in performance. Council tax is very low and flood risk is low, but the property will require investment to bring it up to contemporary standards. Suitable for investors or buyers seeking a project with capital-growth potential.
