This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Cotmanhay Road offers straightforward renovation potential and vacant possession, making it a clear proposition for investors or buyers seeking a project. The property provides two reception rooms, a kitchen with utility and ground-floor WC, and a galleried landing serving three first-floor bedrooms and a shower room. Total internal area is approximately 998 sq ft.
Key practical strengths include mains gas central heating with a replacement boiler, UPVC double glazing, and a good-size rear garden for this plot. The house is chain-free and ready for refurbishment, so a buyer can plan upgrades without delay and target value uplift through modernisation and insulating works (solid brick walls currently assumed uninsulated).
Important negatives are factual: the house requires overall renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely some modernisation — and sits in an area of higher-than-average crime and significant local deprivation. The plot is modest and street-facing with no special views. Council tax is very low, and local schools include several rated Good and one Outstanding nearby, which may support lettability or family resale appeal.
Suitable for an investor, trade buyer, or someone experienced with refurbishments, this property rewards practical improvements and energy-efficiency upgrades. Buyers should budget for general refurbishment, potential insulation work for solid walls, and standard modernisation to kitchen, bathroom, and internal finishes.
