A compact Grade II listed Gothic cottage dating from 1855, offered as a clear buy-to-let or renovation purchase in Gloucester city centre. The semi-detached house delivers strong rental figures (circa £13,800 pa) and an indicated 8% yield at the guide price band, with vacant possession and no onward chain.
Internally the property follows a traditional layout with a large living/dining space, lean-to, galley kitchen and two double bedrooms on the first floor, plus a small additional room suitable for a home office. High ceilings, original Gothic windows and recent rear garden landscaping preserve period character while providing immediate curb appeal.
Important practical points: the building’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate works or conversions. Sale is via online auction: buyers should factor the non-refundable reservation fee (minimum £5,940 or 3.6% of the winning bid) and other auction terms into any offer. EPC rating is TBC and some updating may be needed to maximise long-term rental value.
Location is a strong selling point — close to Gloucester city centre, docks and transport hub for easy regional connections. Local amenities, schools rated Good, and excellent mobile and broadband provision support both tenancy demand and owner-occupier convenience. This is a hands-on investment with clear income potential, but one that requires due diligence on listing consents and auction contract terms.
