This large semi‑detached property on Lime Street combines substantial living space with a rare, income‑producing garage complex — making it a strong purchase for investors or buyers seeking extra revenue and development potential. The house offers generous rooms across circa 2,180 sqft: a bay‑front lounge, separate dining room, modern kitchen and three well‑proportioned bedrooms with a contemporary family bathroom. The south‑catching front and rear gardens add pleasant outdoor space and natural light.
The rear site is the standout feature: three garages accessed via a private side road, each with electricity and water. Two smaller garages are currently let, producing a combined £300 pcm; a larger unit (previously let at around £1,000 pcm) provides flexible workshop or storage potential and could be relet. Subject to planning permission (STPP), the garage complex could be converted into a self‑contained residential dwelling, offering a clear route to add value.
Practical positives include off‑street parking, large plot size, freehold tenure and good broadband and mobile coverage. The property sits in an affluent, low‑crime area within walking distance of shops, cafés and well‑rated schools, supporting both rental demand and family living. Council tax is low, which helps running costs.
Important considerations: the building dates from before 1900 so period maintenance may be required; the property’s EPC is rated E, indicating lower energy efficiency than modern homes. Any conversion of the garages would require planning approval. Buyers should factor potential refurbishment and conversion costs into their appraisal.
