This Victorian mid-terrace on Mersey Street offers solid period character and a spacious ground-floor lounge-dining room. Two large first-floor bedrooms and a private rear garden give room to grow for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to renovate.
The house requires updating: hardwood floors show damp in places, and the property would benefit from modernisation and improved insulation. Walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated), and the double glazing install date is unknown — factor in refurbishment costs when budgeting.
Practical points: the home is freehold, about 819 sq ft, with mains gas central heating and low council tax. It sits close to local shops, primary schools with Good Ofsted ratings and green space at East Park, but the wider area has higher crime levels and is classified as very deprived.
Important sale conditions: the property is offered via a modern auction with an undisclosed reserve. Successful buyers must pay a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600) plus buyer fees and complete within the auction timeframe. Carry out full due diligence — surveys and checks are strongly advised.
