This large detached property on Scarbrough Avenue offers clear income potential and flexibility for an investor. The house includes two ground-floor self-contained flats (one a bedsit) that are furnished and ready to let, plus a larger five-bedroom upper maisonette with two bathrooms — a layout that supports immediate multi-let income or short-stay rental use. The property is chain-free and sold freehold, simplifying purchase logistics.
Practical assets include CCTV around the site, a double garage with rear service-road access and secure off-road parking behind double gates. The paved private courtyard and brick outbuilding add storage and operational convenience for lettings or holiday stays. Broadband and mobile signals are reported fast and excellent, useful for short-term rental listings and modern tenants.
Buyers should be aware of material negatives in the neighbourhood and the building. Local area indicators show very high crime levels and significant area deprivation, which will affect tenant mix, yields and management costs. Heating is basic (room heaters with mains gas) and the double glazing was installed before 2002, so parts may be dated and could require upgrade. The property likely needs targeted refurbishment to maximise returns and appeal to higher-paying tenants or guests.
Overall, this is a value-priced opportunity for a hands-on investor or developer who can manage lettings and carry out selective improvements. With immediate rental units in place and flexible accommodation above, the house can deliver income from day one while offering scope to increase capital value through refurbishment and improved management.
