This vacant two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace sits close to Gainsborough town centre and offers clear refurbishment potential for an investor or hands-on buyer. The property includes a through lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, first-floor bathroom and two upstairs bedrooms — all in need of cosmetic and some structural updating.
Stand-out features include a front bay window, majority UPVC double glazing, an enclosed rear yard and a single garage — useful extras in a central location. The house is freehold, reasonably compact at about 786 sq ft, and sold at an entry-level price point that reflects the current condition and the surrounding area.
On the downside the property requires renovation: interiors show peeling wallpaper, dated fittings and signs of damp in places. The EPC rating is E, the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, and the house will benefit from modernising heating/insulation to improve energy performance. The neighbourhood scores high on local crime and is in a very deprived area, which will affect resale and rental values; there is no off-street parking beyond the single garage.
For an experienced investor or a first-time buyer willing to carry out works, this house offers a low-cost purchase with scope to add value through refurbishment and energy upgrades. For buyers seeking a move-in-ready home, the property will need significant work before occupation.
