Two-bedroom starter home near Prescot town centre — scope to improve value.
Two double bedrooms suitable for first-time buyers or tenants
Dining kitchen with modern units and built-in appliances
Good-sized rear yard with gated access
EPC rating D — potential for higher energy costs
Electric room heaters; no modern central heating installed
Solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation
Small overall footprint and very small plot size
Area shows high crime and very high deprivation locally
Step inside this compact two-bedroom mid-terrace and you’ll find a practical starter home or a tidy addition to a rental portfolio. The ground floor offers a cosy lounge with wall-mounted electric fire and a dining kitchen fitted with modern units and built-in appliances. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a straightforward three-piece bathroom.
The house sits within walking distance of Prescot town centre, local shops, schools and good transport links, making daily life convenient. A good-sized rear yard provides private outdoor space. The property’s solid brick construction and double glazing give a feeling of character and basic weatherproofing.
There are clear improvement and running-cost considerations. Heating is by electric room heaters and the EPC rating is D, so energy bills could be higher than modern gas-heated homes. The walls are original solid brick and likely lack cavity insulation. The wider area shows high crime and very high deprivation, which will impact long-term resale expectations and rental demand in some tenant markets.
For a first-time buyer willing to prioritise location and finish over low running costs, or an investor targeting entry-price yields, this house offers a manageable layout and scope for value-adding works (insulation, heating upgrade, cosmetic refresh). Its freehold tenure and inexpensive council tax are practical advantages.
