Two bay front rooms with period character and city views

Chain free freehold with recent double glazing and gas boiler
Level 2 survey available from vendor for buyer review
This extended two-bedroom semi occupies an elevated plot on the Penkhull/Stoke border and is offered chain-free with freehold tenure. The property has genuine upside: a two-storey rear extension increases ground-floor space, the front bay rooms retain period character, and there is off-road parking for two vehicles. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit homeworking or letting.
The house requires general refurbishment throughout — cosmetic and likely some updating of services — but recent double glazing and a mains-gas boiler are in place. The current layout (large kitchen and spacious first-floor bathroom) could be reconfigured to create a third bedroom, offering clear scope to add value for an owner-occupier or investor.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the immediate area is classified as very deprived with a very high crime level, and the garden/plot is small. Internal modernisation will be needed to reach contemporary standards. A Level 2 survey has been carried out by the vendor and is available for inspection, which will help buyers understand necessary works.
For those prioritising location and potential over turnkey condition, this property is a straightforward project with parking, good transport links (easy access to A500/A50), nearby schools, and pleasant rear views over allotments and mature trees. It will suit a first-time buyer seeking a renovation project or a landlord targeting the local rental market.
