- South-facing small rear garden

- Located in a deprived area; mixed local school ratings
A two-bedroom mid-terrace with genuine potential for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The house offers traditional Victorian character, two reception rooms and a south-facing rear garden — a rare outdoor aspect for terraces in the area.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, likely thermal improvements to solid-brick walls, and kitchen and bathroom renewal. EPC D indicates scope to raise energy performance and household comfort with insulation and boiler upgrades.
Location is convenient for commuting, with good mobile signal, fast broadband and local transport links close by. Practical positives include freehold tenure, low council tax and no flooding risk. However, the wider neighbourhood is a deprived, blue-collar terrace area and local secondary schools have mixed OFSTED outcomes, which is important to consider for families.
For a buyer willing to refurbish, this property offers an affordable entry in SK5 with scope to add value. Investors should note the renovation requirement and area profile when modelling yields.
