Compact investment flat close to transport, amenities and parkland.
Chain-free; priced to sell, good for investors or quick buyer
This compact one-bedroom apartment (approximately 399 sq ft) sits a short walk from Preston city centre and the train station, making it well placed for renters and buyers seeking strong transport links and local amenities. The area attracts students and professionals, supporting rental demand; broadband and mobile signal are both good, and council tax is low (Band A).
The property occupies a Victorian townhouse and retains period character externally, with internal space comprising a kitchen/living area, bedroom, bathroom and storage. The apartment is offered chain free and described in the listing as freehold, but tenure is recorded as unknown here — buyers should verify legal title before purchase. EPC rating D; heating runs from a boiler with radiators and the main fuel source is electricity.
Important negatives are factual and significant: the wider area is classed as very deprived and local crime levels are very high, which will affect appeal and lettings pricing for some tenants. The flat is small and will suit single occupants or couples rather than families. There is visible potential for refurbishment rather than a turnkey finish.
For an investor or buyer focused on location and rental yield, this is a priced-to-sell opportunity with easy access to cafes, bars, shops and green space (Avenham Park). Expect interest from the student/professional rental market; plan for modest updating and confirm tenure and service/maintenance arrangements before committing.
