A chain-free, two-bedroom mid-terrace offering clear scope to add value. The property includes an open-plan dining kitchen, reception room with traditional fireplace, small rear yard and double glazing. At around 908 sq ft, the layout is practical for rental or resale following refurbishment.
This house requires renovation throughout: decorative updating, damp and wear in the living room, and general modernisation of the bathroom and kitchen. The sandstone-built walls likely lack insulation and the property is leasehold — important for long-term plans. Flooding risk is medium and local crime levels are above average; factor these into refurbishment and pricing decisions.
Location supports rental demand: close to buses, within walking distance of several primary and secondary schools, and situated in a densely populated urban area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The very low council tax helps running costs and the property is suited to investors or experienced home renovators wanting a project with upside.
Overall this is a straightforward value-add opportunity for buyers prepared to carry out works. Expect to budget for remedial works, insulation upgrades and modern services to maximise rental yield or resale value.
