Set on Front Street in Pity Me, this three-bedroom semi-detached home is a clear project for someone happy to renovate and add value. The property offers spacious reception rooms, a garage and a straightforward layout across two storeys — solid basics that respond well to cosmetic and layout improvements.
Internally the house requires substantial updating: kitchen and bathroom need modernisation, paint and external render are peeling, and general decorative and maintenance work is needed throughout. These are reflected in the asking price and make the property suitable for buyers looking to refurbish for personal use or to re-let at a premium once improved.
Practical positives include a freehold title, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — favourable for families, professionals and renters. Local schools include several Good and Outstanding-rated primaries and secondaries, and the property sits in an affluent, low-deprivation area with no flood risk.
This is best for first-time buyers with DIY experience, small-scale developers or buy-to-let investors wanting a clear renovation brief and relatively modest plot. The home’s character and room proportions provide scope to create a contemporary finish while keeping original features where desired.
