A larger-than-average three-bedroom Victorian semi with a substantial rear yard, offered chain free and sold freehold. The house requires full refurbishment throughout — floors, kitchen, bathroom and general finishes need replacement — but the generous room proportions and separate reception rooms give good scope to create a comfortable family home or a straightforward rental unit. Estimated achievable rent in the area is around £850 pcm.
The property sits on a residential street in a high-demand rental neighbourhood, with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband suitable for modern tenants. There is no dedicated off-street parking and street parking can be limited; the plot is small at the front but the rear yard is unusually large for this type of property, providing space for outdoor living or storage.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the house is in poor condition and requires full renovation; the local area records above-average crime and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale values and tenant profiles. Schools nearby include a mix of Ofsted ratings; local amenities and frequent bus links are within walking distance, supporting rental demand.
This is a clear project for a buyer prepared to renovate — suited to a hands-on first-time buyer with renovation experience or an investor targeting a straightforward refurbishment and letting opportunity. The property’s freehold status and no onward chain make transaction timing simpler for purchasers ready to proceed.
