Priced to reflect its renovation needs, this mid-terraced Victorian two-bedroom offers clear uplift potential for investors or buyers happy to refurbish. The house has a traditional red-brick frontage, gas central heating and two double bedrooms across a compact footprint. Sold freehold and chain-free, it’s straightforward to acquire and start work quickly.
Internally the layout is practical: entrance hall, spacious lounge, kitchen-diner and ground-floor wet room, with two double bedrooms upstairs. Original features such as fireplaces and fitted wardrobes remain, while floors and fittings will need modernising. A small rear garden with outhouses provides outdoor space and scope for improvement or storage.
Location factors affect pricing and use-case. The property sits in a deprived, blue-collar terrace area with high local crime and smaller-than-average plot sizes; nearby schools are mostly rated Good, though the local secondary requires improvement. Connectivity is a strength — excellent mobile reception and fast broadband — making lettings or resale to first-time buyers feasible after refurbishment.
This is best suited to cash buyers, buy-to-let investors or hands-on first-time purchasers willing to carry out works. Expect to budget for general renovation rather than cosmetic updates; the property’s low asking price reflects both the condition and local market realities.
