This substantial Victorian end-of-terrace is arranged as two self-contained apartments, offering immediate rental income and longer-term conversion potential. The larger upper unit spans two floors with two double bedrooms, while the ground-floor apartment is currently let — a helpful income stream toward mortgage costs. The property totals approximately 2,241 sq ft and includes a large cellar, an oversized garage with electric door, and a small rear garden.
Structurally the house has many period strengths: high ceilings, bay windows and solid brick walls typical of pre-1900 construction. Practical systems are in place — mains gas heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing (installation date unknown) — but the property shows clear scope for improvement. The cellar could be converted subject to planning (STPP) and the building likely needs insulation upgrades and modernising throughout to maximise rental yields or resale value.
Location is convenient for city amenities, public transport and local shops, but the immediate area scores high for crime and very high on deprivation indices, which will affect tenant mix and long-term capital growth. Nearby schools are mixed in performance. Investors should factor in potential refurbishment costs and the need for careful tenant selection. For those willing to invest in upgrades, the combination of size, two separate flats, garage and rental income makes this a flexible opportunity.
