Summary - 31 FRANCIS STREET ST HELENS WA9 4JW
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable starter home near schools and transport links.
Two bedrooms with two reception rooms, flexible layout
This mid-terraced Victorian house offers a straightforward, affordable entry into St Helens with two bedrooms and two reception rooms across 748 sq ft. The main living room and second reception provide flexible living space suitable for a couple, small family, or investor seeking a rental opportunity. Gas central heating and double glazing are in place; the property currently holds an EPC rating of D.
Practical features include a fitted kitchen, three-piece bathroom with shower, and a private rear yard. The plot is small and the rooms are average sized, so buyers should expect modest living proportions rather than spacious modern layouts. External walls are cavity-built and assumed to have no added insulation, and the date of the double glazing installation is unknown — further improvement work could reduce running costs and increase comfort.
Set in a well-connected residential area with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and very low local crime, this house sits close to primary and secondary schools (all rated Good) and local transport links. The wider area is classed as deprived blue-collar terraces, while the immediate neighbourhood is described as aspiring urban households — desirable for buyers seeking value and potential uplift.
Sold freehold at a competitive price, this home suits first-time buyers who want a manageable, low-cost starter home or investors looking for a let-ready property with short-term rental potential. Be aware of modest room sizes, limited outdoor space, and likely scope for insulation and cosmetic updating.
