Three-bed Victorian terrace — renovation opportunity ideal for buy-to-let investors..
Victorian bay‑windowed end terrace with period character
A bay‑windowed Victorian end‑terrace offering straightforward accommodation over two floors: two reception rooms, separate kitchen, three bedrooms and a three‑piece bathroom. The home benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing, and its 839 sqft layout is typical for terraced stock in this area. A modest front garden and small rear yard complete the plot.
The property requires renovation and cosmetic updating — walls are likely uninsulated cavity construction and the double glazing appears pre‑2002 — which creates clear scope to add value. For a hands‑on buyer or investor this is a low‑cost entry into the local rental market; room sizes and bay window character are rental-friendly features.
This sale is by the Modern Method of Auction. Buyers should note the buyer information pack fee (£349 inc VAT) and a non‑refundable reservation fee of 4.5% of the purchase price (minimum £6,600 inc VAT). Tenure is not confirmed and utilities/fixtures have not been tested — factor these into pre‑purchase surveys and mortgage advice.
Location is convenient for local shops, schools and bus links, but the area records above‑average crime rates and is in a very deprived ward. That can depress purchase prices and, for investors, lift potential rental yields — however expect active management and careful tenant selection where needed.
