This small end-of-terrace period house on Rackham Road offers a blank canvas for a first-time buyer or investor prepared to renovate. The property is chain-free and will be sold at auction, which could suit a buyer seeking a quicker purchase route. Internally the layout is traditional with separate lounge and dining areas, a compact kitchen, shower room and two bedrooms arranged over modest floor space (approx. 603 sq ft).
Key positives include an enclosed rear garden, double glazing (installation date unknown), very cheap council tax and modern heating via an air-source heat pump with radiators. The location provides easy access to the city centre and local amenities; mobile signal and broadband speeds are strong, which supports both renters and home-workers.
Notable drawbacks are clear: the house needs full modernisation, the walls are likely uninsulated solid brick, and many internal features are dated. The wider area scores as very deprived with high local crime levels; nearby schools are mixed in Ofsted ratings. Buyers should allow budget for renovation, possible insulation work, and a full survey before committing.
This property suits a buyer who values location and price flexibility over move-in condition — ideal for a renovation project, buy-to-let conversion, or a cost-conscious first home requiring hands-on improvement.
