This three-bedroom semi-detached house in Fonteyn Place, Stanley, is presented primarily as a buy-to-let opportunity. It is sold freehold with a long-term tenant in situ producing a current gross income of £7,200 per year, making it suitable for investors looking for an immediate rental return and portfolio expansion. The property offers a private rear garden, on-street parking and city/town location close to local amenities and schools.
Internally the accommodation is described as including a living room, fitted kitchen with dining space and a four-piece bathroom alongside three bedrooms. The footprint is modest (approximately 969 sq ft) on a small plot, typical of post-war/estate housing. Mobile signal and broadband speeds are reported as very good, supporting tenancy demand.
Buyers should note material area and tenure factors: the neighbourhood records high crime and very high area deprivation, which can affect tenant demand, void risk and resale. The property is currently occupied by long-standing tenants who have indicated they do not intend to move, so purchaser must accept a tenancy in place. For full investment figures and tenancy paperwork, refer to the Let Property Pack.
Overall this is a straightforward, income-producing unit for a hands-on investor or developer comfortable operating in challenged urban markets. It offers immediate cashflow but also brings locational risk that should be factored into purchase price, management costs and any refurbishment plans.
