This vacant, chain-free mid-terraced home on Alum Rock Road offers straightforward entry to ownership or a renovation project for investors. The property is freehold, set on a small plot with a front driveway, rear garden and off-street parking — practical features rarely found at this price point in the area.
Internally the layout is simple: a front bay-window lounge, fitted kitchen, downstairs shower room and three first-floor bedrooms. At about 797 sq ft the house is compact and needs modernisation throughout; fixtures, finishes and decor are dated and the EPC is G, so expect upgrade costs and potential heating improvements.
Location strengths include excellent mobile and fast broadband, nearby bus links and a wide range of local amenities serving the large local community. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools, including an outstanding academy, are within reach, which may suit families or letting to school-focused tenants.
Practical positives — freehold tenure, no chain, vacant possession, no flood risk and very low council tax band — help offset repair costs and make the purchase process simpler. For buyers seeking a ready-home, this will need investment; for investors or first-time buyers prepared to refurbish, it presents clear value and rental potential.
