Cash-buyers or renovators can add value in a compact DH4 property with no chain.
Freehold, mid-terrace Victorian house, chain-free
This mid-terrace Victorian house on Bernard Street is a straightforward renovation project for cash buyers or landlords. The property is freehold, chain-free and offers two first-floor bedrooms, a spacious lounge with a feature fireplace, separate dining room, fitted kitchen and ground-floor bathroom. Gas central heating and double glazing are already in place.
The house requires updating throughout: cosmetic and deeper renovation work is needed to realise rental or resale value. The plot is small with an enclosed rear yard; internal space totals approximately 915 sqft, making it suitable for modest-lot investment or starter-home refurbishment.
Location factors will affect resale and lettings: the area is very deprived with very high recorded crime, though basic local amenities and several well-rated primary schools are nearby. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are good, and there is no flood risk. Buyers should plan for refurbishment costs and factor local market conditions into yield assumptions.
