A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace offered freehold and positioned for buy-to-let investors. The property is currently let with rent reported around £425–450 pcm, producing an advertised yield of approximately 9% at the guide price of £54,000. Accommodation is traditional in layout with a lounge, separate dining room, kitchen, bathroom and two double bedrooms across two floors.
Practical features include a mains gas combination boiler, uPVC double glazing (installed post-2002) and mains gas central heating. The house is close to local schools, shops, bus routes and immediate access to the coast for regular walks — useful letting attributes for local tenants. Broadband speeds are reported fast and mobile signal excellent.
Buyers should note material negatives plainly: the area scores high on crime and very deprived indices, and the street plot is small with limited external space. EPC is listed as D and there is a Buyers Fee applicable. The house dates from the 1930s–1940s and will likely benefit from cosmetic updating or selective refurbishment to maximise rental or resale value.
This property suits an investor seeking an affordable, income-producing unit with clear scope for uplift through improvement and active management. It will not suit buyers seeking low-crime, high-amenity neighbourhoods or generous outdoor space.
