High local crime and area deprivation may affect resale/rental values
This spacious two-bedroom property on St Johns Road is a clear opportunity for investors or buyers seeking a hands-on project. The house offers a large open-plan living and dining room, generous bedroom sizes and gated off-street parking with a substantial rear yard. Attached workshops with power, lighting, an inspection pit and an upper storage floor provide flexible space and conversion potential (subject to planning permission).
The house requires comprehensive updating: single glazing throughout, assumed solid brick walls with no insulation, dated fittings and carpets, and general renovation work. Heating is gas boiler and radiators, but the property would benefit from modernisation, insulation and likely electrical and kitchen/bathroom upgrades.
Location strengths include fast broadband, proximity to primary and secondary schools (several rated Good), local shops and amenities. Important negatives are the high local crime level and overall area deprivation indicators; buyers should factor these into resale or rental expectations.
Practical features that add value for certain buyers are the gated parking suitable for a camper/campervan, useful pantry and storage areas, and workshops that could be retained for business use or, with permissions, converted to extra living space. Tenure is believed to be freehold but must be verified by solicitors.
