A chain-free Victorian mid-terrace with two double bedrooms and a large private garden, this property suits first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors seeking clear upside. The house retains period proportions across a living room, separate dining room, small kitchen and ground-floor bathroom; both bedrooms occupy the first floor. Gas central heating, uPVC double glazing and a combination boiler are already in place.
The home is offered as a refurbishment project: the kitchen is dated, ceiling heights are low and general modernisation is recommended to maximise living comfort and rental value. Solid brick walls (no added cavity insulation assumed) and an EPC rating of D mean energy improvements would add value and reduce running costs.
Financially the numbers are straightforward — freehold tenure, council tax Band A (very cheap) and an estimated rental income of £950–£975 pcm, which equates to roughly a 6% gross yield at the asking price. On-street parking only; local amenities, good primary and secondary schools and fast broadband make the location practical for city living.
Buyers should note the area records above-average crime and the house will benefit from cosmetic and energy-efficiency upgrades. For investors and owner-occupiers willing to modernise, the property presents a well-located, affordable opportunity with a sizeable garden and clear scope to add value.
