Immediate rental income in a compact period property near transport links.
Tenants in situ — immediate rental income potential
This compact three-bedroom house on Rhys Street is offered with tenants in situ, presenting immediate rental income for an investor seeking a straightforward acquisition. The property’s three floors include a lower-ground kitchen, two reception rooms and a single bathroom, arranged across approximately 691 sq ft, making it manageable to run and let.
Located within easy reach of rail and public transport, local schools and amenities, the home sits in an area with strong tenant demand. The plot is small but includes a rear patio and lawn plus a storage shed—low-maintenance outdoor space that suits rental occupancy.
Constructed before 1900 with sandstone/limestone walls likely lacking cavity insulation, the house offers character but also clear upgrade scope. The EPC rating of D and dated bathroom suggest energy and servicing improvements will be needed to maximise rental value. The layout and size also suit a buy-to-let investor targeting steady yields rather than a family seeking spacious living.
Buyers should note the property is in a very deprived area, though crime is low and transport links are excellent. Essential checks such as an electrical test, boiler/service report and a full survey are recommended before purchase to confirm condition and renovation costs.
