A rare investment opportunity in Southport: a two-bedroom Victorian semi-detached on an unusually large corner plot. The property requires full renovation but offers clear value drivers — wrap-around gardens, a private swimming pool and high ceilings typical of the period.
The house currently offers a sizeable living area, kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom across approximately 941 sq ft. Solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and existing double glazing create a sound starting point, while mains gas boiler and radiators service the property. There is scope to reconfigure or extend subject to planning permission, allowing upside for a refurbishment, rental conversion or resale.
Important sale details: the property is leasehold and will be sold at auction, with an average service charge of £3,600 shown. The home is being sold as a renovation project — costs for modernisation, insulation and possible structural works should be expected. EPC currently rated D; buyers should review the legal pack for disbursements and tenure specifics before bidding.
Location strengths include low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with good local schools and Southport town centre nearby. For investors or experienced renovators the combination of plot size, pool and extension potential presents a clear refurbishment upside; for owner-occupiers this is a project home with tangible costs and risks to factor in.
