Low-priced Victorian end terrace with two bathrooms — renovation opportunity near the River Trent.
Two large double bedrooms with versatile two-reception layout
Bathroom on both floors for rental or family convenience
Small enclosed courtyard garden, fully enclosed, low maintenance

Located close to the River Trent and town amenities
Very high local crime and very deprived area—consider security costs
Freehold, low council tax, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal
This Victorian end-terrace offers clear potential for buyers prepared to renovate. Set over two storeys, the house has two large double bedrooms, two reception rooms and the convenience of a bathroom on each floor. With solid brick walls and double glazing already present, the property provides a sound base for upgrading heating, insulation and finishes.
Positioned close to the River Trent and local amenities, the home sits in a transitional neighbourhood with strong rental demand. Broadband and mobile signal are good, and the modest council tax combined with a low asking price creates scope for a strong yield for investors or an affordable entry for hands-on first-time buyers.
There are important realities to accept: the house needs renovation throughout, the area records very high crime rates and very high deprivation, and the fabric likely lacks wall insulation. Buyers should factor in upgrade costs for heating, insulation and modern comforts. Internal rooms are modest in size and the courtyard garden is small but fully enclosed.
For investors, the nearby constrained-renter demographic and mix of local amenities support lettings after refurbishment. For a buyer seeking a low-priced project, the property allows substantial value-add through modernization and better thermal performance.
