Freehold mid-terrace with private rear yard and two outbuildings
Opportunity to add a third flat in loft (subject to planning permission)

Low council tax and excellent broadband/mobile connectivity
Two self-contained one-bedroom flats in an Edwardian mid-terrace, offered freehold with tenants in situ or vacant possession. Currently producing a combined gross rent of £1,200 PCM, the property sits close to Preston city centre, university and strong transport links — a straightforward buy-to-let in a high-demand rental neighbourhood.
Both flats have open-plan living/kitchen layouts, double bedrooms and modern shower rooms; the ground-floor flat also benefits from private rear yard access and two useful outbuildings for storage or utility conversion. There is scope (subject to planning) to convert the loft and add a third self-contained flat, which could materially increase rental income and long-term value.
The location is a cosmopolitan, private-renting neighbourhood popular with students and new arrivals, with excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and easy access to local amenities and parks. Important practical points: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, and the terrace shows some roof damage noted externally — factor maintenance and local demand into purchase planning.
This opportunity suits investors seeking immediate income with upside from a loft conversion, or a buyer prepared to refurbish and manage a two-flat block in a strong rental catchment. Council tax costs are low, and the property is offered with no chain, simplifying acquisition for a buyer who wishes to act quickly.
