A stone-built mid-terrace with two bedrooms and 829 sqft, 65 Water Street is offered chain-free at £75,000. The property has a generous kitchen-diner, separate utility room and an enclosed rear yard — practical features that appeal to tenants and small households. Fast broadband, mains gas central heating and good transport links add to its lettability.
This is a clear renovation and investment opportunity: the house needs refurbishment throughout (decor, likely damp in places, and general updating). The living room shows dated finishes and a single-glazed window; walls are original sandstone/limestone with no known insulation, and the EPC is E. It is leasehold — investigate remaining term and any service charges before purchase.
Location factors support rental demand but carry risks. The immediate area is very deprived with constrained renters and very high crime levels, which will influence rental values and management needs. Nearby green space (The Coppice), local shops and schools add convenience for tenants, and cheap council tax helps affordability for occupiers.
This property suits investors or hands-on buyers prepared to refurbish and manage a rental in a challenging area. Expect renovation costs, active tenant screening and possibly improvement works to windows, insulation and damp control to maximise returns. Chain-free sale and solid basic layout offer a fast route to adding a low-entry asset to a portfolio.
