This three-bedroom mid-terraced property on New Wellington Street offers clear investor appeal at a low guide price. The house provides practical living space across two floors with a large kitchen, spacious front reception room and a private rear yard. It will be sold at auction, making it suitable for buyers comfortable with quick transactions and potential refurbishment projects.
Internally the layout is straightforward: three bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, a generous living room and a sizeable kitchen with rear access on the ground floor. The property is freehold, has mains gas central heating and double glazing (install date unknown). Council Tax Band A keeps running costs low for a rental portfolio.
The house does require updating and improvement in parts. The exterior and interior show dated elements and there is potential for damp typical of terraces of this age; cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed) so energy performance and comfort could be improved. The property sits in a very deprived area with higher-than-average crime — an important consideration for long-term rental yield and management.
Location strengths include good local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus several nearby primary schools rated Good. For an investor prepared to refurbish and manage tenancy risk, this low-cost, freehold terrace offers scope for rental income or resale uplift after improvement.
