A compact two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace in Pontefract, presented as a buy-to-let opportunity with an established long-term tenancy. The property is freehold, has a private rear garden and on-street parking, and currently produces a predictable gross income of £6,240 per year. Its modest footprint (approximately 552 sq ft) and traditional layout make it straightforward to manage for a landlord.
The house is offered with tenants in situ who have occupied the property for 10+ years and intend to remain; this provides immediate income but limits vacant-possession options for an owner-occupier or developer. Interiors are dated and would benefit from refurbishment to improve rental value and reduce ongoing maintenance. The living room and fixtures show signs of wear consistent with a mid-20th-century fit-out.
For investors, the property’s strengths are clear: steady rental income, freehold tenure, and location close to local amenities and several good-rated schools. Potential upside exists through targeted refurbishment and rent review, but any purchaser should allow a budget for updating and factor in the stated buyer’s premium applied to the sale. Flood risk is nil and broadband speeds are reported as fast, supporting rental demand.
This is a pragmatic acquisition for a landlord or small developer seeking an entry-priced terraced asset in an established Pontefract neighbourhood. Be aware of the tenant position, the property’s small size, and the need for modernisation when assessing yield and refurbishment costs.
