Freehold Victorian terrace needing renovation — ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let refurb..
Three bedrooms across two storeys, circa 805 sq ft
A solid Victorian mid-terrace with clear renovation potential, offered freehold and sold at auction. The property sits on a small plot with a compact front yard and a long, narrow rear garden — a workable canvas for a first home or rental refurbishment.
Internally the house provides two reception rooms, a practical kitchen, one bathroom and three bedrooms across two storeys. Large windows bring good natural light into the principal rooms. Heating is by a mains-gas boiler and radiators; the solid brick walls appear to have no installed insulation, so upgrading thermal efficiency would be a sensible early investment.
Practical advantages include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband, and strong public transport links, making the location convenient for commuters and tenants. Council tax is low (Band A) and flood risk is low. Notable negatives: the property requires renovation throughout, is in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates, and rooms/plot are relatively small — factors that will influence resale or rental values and renovation budgets.
This house will suit first-time buyers prepared to DIY or investors targeting a value-led refurbishment close to amenities and transport. Buying at auction can speed acquisition but requires readiness to inspect and budget for works.
