This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Gladstone Street offers a compact, affordable home or buy-to-let in central St Helens. The house has period features externally and two double bedrooms upstairs, with a full-width master and a good-sized second bedroom. A private rear yard provides low-maintenance outdoor space.
Internally the layout is practical: an open-plan reception/dining space runs the length of the house, leading to a fitted kitchen, rear hall and a three-piece bathroom. Some rooms show mid-20th-century fittings and dated finishes, so there is clear scope to update and add value. Total internal area is about 708 sq ft.
Important negatives are factual and significant: the property sits in a very deprived area with very high local crime rates, and parts of the interior require modernization. Tenure is leasehold (very long lease remaining, c.850 years) with nominal ground rent and very low council tax, which reduces running costs. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the location is close to town-centre amenities, schools and transport links — useful for commuters or tenants.
For first-time buyers this is an entry-price opportunity to secure a period home close to local services and good schools. For investors it presents refurbishment potential and easy management: small garden, long lease, low charges. Budget for cosmetic works and consider the local social and safety context when assessing long-term plans.
