A freehold Victorian terrace offering clear scope for conversion or refurbishment, sold with vacant possession and no onward chain. Currently arranged as a ground-floor office with multiple workspaces and three separate rooms above, the layout suits return to residential use or an HMO conversion (subject to planning and licensing). The property includes rear vehicular access and off-street parking for several vehicles—a rare central convenience.
The house requires significant TLC: exterior brickwork and internal areas are dated and in poor condition, so budget for refurbishment, potential rewiring, and upgrades. The plot is small and the building sits on a busy through road in a high-crime, very deprived local area, which may affect yields and appeal to some occupiers. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support lettings to professionals or students.
This is a practical, realistic prospect for investors, developers or an owner-occupier looking for a project in a central SN1 location. With planning consent, the property could be adapted to maximise income (HMO or multiple flats) or upgraded back to a conventional three-bedroom home, but buyers should allow for conversion costs and statutory approvals.
