3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free three-bedroom semi near university — ideal buy-to-let or refurbishment project..
Chain-free three-bedroom semi-detached, 861 sq ft
A chain-free, three-bedroom semi-detached house in central Stoke-on-Trent offering simple, short-term rental potential or an owner-occupier renovation project. The house has two reception rooms, a private rear garden and gas central heating; its layout and proximity to the university make it attractive to students or buy-to-let investors seeking steady demand. The property is average-sized (approx. 861 sq ft) with one bathroom and small plot size, so it suits compact households or multi-tenant lettings rather than large families.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and presents clear improvement opportunities: modernisation of kitchen and bathroom, upgrading insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated) and replacing ageing double glazing installed before 2002 would improve comfort and energy efficiency. There are no reported flood risks and broadband and mobile signals are good, which helps rental appeal.
Important negatives are straightforward: the area records high crime and very high deprivation indexes, and the plot and rooms are modest in size. The property will likely need cosmetic and energy-efficiency works before achieving maximum rental or sale value. Council tax costs are very low, and the freehold tenure plus no upward chain allow a quick transaction for buyers prepared to carry out repairs or refurbishments.
Nearby amenities include shops, leisure and transport links; good local schools are within reach and the city centre and university are close by. For investors or hands-on first-time buyers, this offers an affordable entry into ST1 with immediate rental potential but requires practical investment to unlock uplift.
