This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Astley Road is a chain-free opportunity for first-time buyers or investors comfortable with refurbishment. The house offers two reception rooms plus a sun lounge, a practical layout that can be reconfigured for open-plan living. Off-street parking and front and rear gardens add useful outdoor space for a compact urban plot.
The property requires updating throughout: the kitchen, bathroom and internal decor need refurbishment, and the living spaces show dated finishes such as faux panelling and older fixtures. Walls are solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements despite the current EPC B rating. The plot and room sizes are modest (approx. 804 sq ft), so renovation should prioritise layout efficiency.
Location benefits include nearby schools rated Good, frequent bus links and excellent mobile and fast broadband speeds. Be realistic about the neighbourhood context: the area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels, which may affect long-term rental yields or resale timing. For an investor or hands-on first buyer, the low entry price and no upward chain present clear potential to add value.
View this property as a practical project: it’s not turnkey, but it provides a solid mid-century brick shell with parking and gardens—elements that are increasingly scarce at this price point in the area. Buyers should arrange surveys and factor refurbishment and insulation costs into their budget.
