Chain free and vacant for immediate possession
A compact three-bedroom Victorian terraced house offered chain free and vacant for immediate possession. The property is freehold and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating, presenting a lower-cost entry into Ferndale’s housing market with a very low council tax band A.
Internally the home is modest in scale (approximately 839 sq ft) and shows signs of wear: cluttered rooms, dated fixtures, and reported damp that will need addressing. The layout suits a starter household or a buy-to-let investor looking for a refurbishment project; rooms are small to average and will benefit from decluttering and cosmetic updating.
Externally there’s a small private rear garden that requires clearance and landscaping. The property sits in a hard-pressed, very deprived area with above-average crime statistics and slow broadband speeds — practical considerations for owner-occupiers or tenants. The site is within 1km of former coal/mining workings, so buyers should factor in any specialist surveys.
This is a budget-priced opportunity (offers around £55,000) for someone prepared to carry out repairs and improvements. For an investor, the combination of immediate vacant possession, low purchase price and low council tax may offer upside after renovation. For first-time buyers seeking a low-entry home, expect ongoing maintenance and refurbishment costs.
