Summary - 2a Riding Street PR8 1EW
6 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Town centre investment with parking, garden and close rail links — sold at auction.
Six bedrooms across three storeys, approx. 2,007 sqft
This six-bedroom, three-storey semi-detached property sits in Southport town centre and offers strong rental or multi-occupancy potential close to shops and the train station. At around 2,007 sqft the house combines period Victorian features — high ceilings and arched windows — with a modern kitchen and practical layout including two reception rooms.
Important sale terms: the property will be sold at auction, guide price £215,000 with a reserve around £220,000–£236,500. A non-refundable buyer’s fee applies (4% + VAT, minimum £4,000 plus VAT) and a 10% deposit is payable on exchange. Viewings are available by request; the sale is chain-free and freehold.
Practical positives include off-street driveway parking for multiple cars, a walled rear courtyard garden and mains gas central heating. The home comes with an EPC C and council tax band C. The size and room count make it suitable for investors, large households or purchasers seeking shared accommodation income.
Drawbacks and considerations: there are only two bathrooms (plus a separate WC) for six bedrooms which may limit immediate family comfort without alteration. The area shows higher-than-average crime and local deprivation indicators, which will affect lettings and resale values. The plot is small and some rooms likely need cosmetic updating despite the modern kitchen; purchasers should factor in refurbishment costs and the auction timeline and fees when budgeting.
