Large rear garden and immediate rental income potential.
Freehold three-bedroom semi-detached with period features
A three-bedroom, semi-detached period home on Fairfield Road offering clear rental and renovation potential. The property is freehold, gas-heated with double glazing, and currently produces £675 PCM — a straightforward entry for a buy-to-let or a cost-conscious owner-occupier. The rear garden is larger-than-average for the street and is a genuine asset for outdoor space and future landscaping value.
The house combines Victorian red-brick character and high ceilings with a modern, compact kitchen and two reception rooms. Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, one single bedroom and a family bathroom across approximately 887 sq ft. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, while the property sits within walking distance of the train station, bus stops and local shops.
Buyers should factor in the local context: the wider area registers as very deprived with a high crime rate and a large transitional Eastern European community; parts of the neighbourhood are occupied largely by constrained renters. The building is solid-brick (likely without cavity insulation) so energy efficiency may need attention and some rooms or finishes may benefit from updating to maximise long-term value.
This home suits investors seeking immediate rental income or purchasers looking for a period property with garden space and scope to improve. The combination of steady rental demand, good transport links and a decent plot makes it realistic for modest refurbishment and re-letting or for owner occupation after targeted upgrades.
