This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Livesey offers a clear renovation and investment opportunity. The property is chain-free and freehold, with both front and rear gardens and a compact 710 sq ft layout ready for modernisation. Practical elements—double glazing (unknown installation date), mains gas boiler and radiators—are already in place.
The layout includes a hallway with under-stair storage, a lounge with an electric fire on a tiled hearth, a basic fitted kitchen overlooking the rear garden, and a ground-floor bathroom. Upstairs are three bedrooms served from a central landing. The property dates from the 1930s and retains mid-century features; many surfaces and fittings will require updating, including worn floors and cracked ceilings noted internally.
For investors, the location in popular Livesey and the property’s chain-free status reduce transactional friction. Local amenities, good transport links and several nearby schools (including one rated Outstanding) support rental demand or resale appeal after refurbishment. Be aware the area shows high crime statistics and significant deprivation; finishes and security improvements should be factored into refurbishment budgets.
Practical considerations: EPC grade D, council tax band B and a small plot. The house is compact and best suited to buyers or landlords prepared to undertake a modernisation programme to realise value. Early viewing recommended for those seeking a straightforward project in a popular residential pocket.
