A chain-free mid-terraced property on Alice Street offered as a clear renovation project. The house dates from before 1900 and retains period features such as a stone façade and high ceilings, but it requires modernisation throughout including kitchen repairs and evidence of damp in one room. The energy rating is E and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators.
Practical positives include well-proportioned rooms across two floors (about 756 sqft), a low-maintenance rear yard, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and no flood risk. The long lease—originally granted in 1872—has approximately 846 years remaining and ground rent is low at £100 per year. Council Tax sits in Band A, keeping annual running costs modest.
Location offers straightforward commuting via the M65/A666 corridor and access to local amenities and several primary schools rated Good. That said, the immediate area is classified as very deprived with very high recorded crime levels; buyers should factor local market conditions into plans. This property suits investors or buyers seeking a lower-entry renovation with rental or resale potential, provided they address the refurbishment needs and energy efficiency improvements.
