Compact seaside terrace — investment/refurb opportunity with vacant possession.
- Vacant possession with no onward chain
A compact Victorian mid-terrace in St Martins Place offering immediate vacant possession and no onward chain — ideal for a buy-to-let investor or a small-family refurbishment. The property includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms (one ensuite wet room) and a long living/dining room, all within a modest 799 sq ft footprint. Gas central heating and double-glazed uPVC windows are already in place, reducing immediate major expenditure.
The house requires cosmetic upgrading throughout: décor is dated, room proportions are generally small, and the solid brick walls are likely uninsulated. These factors create scope to add value through targeted investment — redecoration, kitchen and bathroom modernisation, and insulating improvements. Its seaside location near the Esplanade and local amenities supports strong rental demand from students and professionals, and council tax is very cheap, which can help operating costs.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: the area records higher crime and is classified as very deprived, and on-street parking is restricted immediately outside. The plot is small with a narrow forecourt and limited external space. For buyers focused on yield or quick resale after refurbishment, this property represents a low-entry-cost opportunity in a sought-after coastal town, provided they budget for upgrades and manage tenancy risk accordingly.
