A straightforward two-bedroom mid-terrace offering clear investor potential. The property measures about 793 sq ft and is sensibly priced to reflect the need for cosmetic updating, giving purchasers scope to add value quickly. Key recent works — full double glazing, a high-quality Worcester gas boiler and central heating, front repointing and a refurbished roof — reduce immediate major-cost risks.
Set on Warrington Road, the house sits close to the town centre and within walking distance of the train station, making it attractive to local renters and commuters. The plot provides only a small gated forecourt to the front and no rear garden amenity, so landscaping or extension possibilities are limited. Typical achievable rent in the area is estimated at £800–£850 pcm, supporting a near-term income stream for buy-to-let buyers.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property is leasehold (999 years from 3 December 1898) and offered chain free, with council tax band A and no noted flood risk. The interior requires modernisation — the kitchen dates from the 1970s and fittings are dated — but the roof and heating upgrades mean structural and heating costs are largely addressed. Local area indicators show very low crime and fast broadband, though the wider area is classified as very deprived.
This is a pragmatic purchase for investors or small developers seeking a lower-entry refurbishment project with immediate rental appeal. Buyers should factor in cosmetic works, kitchen replacement and general modernisation when budgeting, and note the limited external space when planning any improvement.
