Period end-terrace near university — renovation opportunity with rental upside.
Two-minute walk to Chester University and city centre
A practical investment in Chester’s Garden Quarter, this three-bedroom Victorian end-terrace sits a two-minute walk from Chester University and the city centre. Previously let to three tenants, the property offers immediate rental appeal to students and professionals and clear scope to increase returns after refurbishment.
The house retains period brick exterior and a solid structure but needs modernisation internally. The kitchen is presented in a more modern style, yet the rest of the accommodation requires updating. The loft has been converted into additional sleeping space but currently lacks safe access — this presents an easy way to add value if resolved.
Sold via online auction with a starting bid of £165,000, this lot suits cash buyers and experienced auction purchasers. Key practical facts: tenure is not specified, the property is in a deprived area with low crime, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flooding risk. Buyers should allow for renovation costs and commission a survey before bidding.
For investors seeking a city-centre rental with short walks to campus and amenities, or owner-occupiers prepared to modernise, this property offers attractive upside. Auctions move quickly — viewings are by appointment and pre-bid checks are recommended.
