A three-bedroom Victorian detached house in the Rock Park Conservation Area, offered as a full renovation project. The property has a generous lounge and kitchen footprint, downstairs WC, and a large rear garden with private driveway — a clear canvas for adding significant value. Freehold tenure and off-street parking add practical appeal for buyers planning refurbishment or redevelopment (subject to planning).
This is a project suited to developers or investors comfortable working in conservation settings. The home requires full refurbishment throughout: single glazing, dated services, overgrown external areas and internal finishes will need attention. Buyers should budget for structural and service updates and confirm planning constraints before committing.
Location is a strong practical selling point: excellent public transport links with Rock Ferry and Green Lane stations nearby, frequent buses within 100 metres, and easy motorway access. Local amenities, schools with good Ofsted ratings, and nearby supermarkets support letting or resale potential once refurbished.
Material negatives are factual and important: the house sits in a high-crime, very deprived ward and currently presents as neglected. The property needs substantial investment to become a comfortable family home or rental asset. Prospective buyers should carry out their own surveys, verify planning permissions in the conservation area, and satisfy themselves on all service and legal matters.
