Summary - 45 BIRCHWOOD ORTON GOLDHAY PETERBOROUGH PE2 5UQ
1 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Let to a sitting tenant with immediate rental income potential.
Freehold one-bedroom semi-detached house, approx. 410 sqft
Offered to investors only, this one-bedroom freehold semi-detached house in Orton Goldhay is let to a sitting tenant paying £750 pcm, providing immediate rental income. The property is compact (approx. 410 sqft) with an open-plan living/kitchen on the ground floor and a double-size bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Features include uPVC double glazing, off-street parking and a private rear garden.
The home is heated by electric room heaters and has electrical cooking; these factors and the small internal size limit appeal to owner-occupiers but suit buy-to-let portfolios targeting steady rental returns in a city location. Constructed c.1976–82, the building shows signs it will need ongoing maintenance and some cosmetic updating — described as a doer‑upper in the listing — which gives scope to add value through modest refurbishment.
Location benefits include nearby bus routes, local amenities and a selection of primary and secondary schools. The area is mixed and classed as hard-pressed with higher levels of deprivation, so prospective landlords should consider tenant demand, management costs and local rental yields when assessing return. No flooding risk is recorded and the property is council tax band A.
Important negatives: the property is sold to investors only and has a sitting tenant (no vacant possession), electric heating and limited living space. Buyers should verify services, appliance condition and compliance prior to purchase; the description notes services have not been tested.
