Offered by the Modern Method of Auction, this end-terrace house on Badger Street presents clear short-term income or refurbishment potential. The property includes a usable garage, a paved front driveway and a decent-sized rear garden with an outbuilding/office accessed from the garden — practical for storage or conversion. Two bedrooms and a compact living space make it straightforward to reconfigure for rental or resale.
Buyers should be aware of several material considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters, walls are original solid brick with no known insulation, and glazing is double glazed but install date is unknown. The area records very high crime rates and very high deprivation, which will affect rental demand and resale values. The property will be sold at auction; a non-refundable reservation fee and a 56-day completion period apply.
For an investor, first-time landlord or buyer prepared to refurbish, the home offers a modest footprint (approximately 698 sqft) and low council tax costs. The location benefits from excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and immediate access to local transport links and amenities — practical for tenants or commuters. The garage and garden add tangible utility that can increase rental appeal or provide value in a resale after targeted improvements.
If you’re seeking a turn-key family home, be realistic about scope and cost: expect refurbishment spending for modern heating, insulation and potential cosmetic updates to the kitchen and bathroom. For an investor with a clear plan and contingency for the area’s challenges, the property could deliver a reasonable return after improvement.
