A spacious mid-terraced Victorian house arranged over two floors plus a basement, offered chain free and sold freehold. Located close to the promenade, shops and transport links, the layout includes a hallway, lounge, dining room, kitchen, ground-floor WC, four bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom. The property is council-tax band cheap and has an EPC rating of D.
The house is best suited to investors or developers looking for a rental or refurbishment project. Key value drivers are its size (approximately 1,495 sq ft), versatile basement storage/potential, and proximity to local attractions and transport. The large bay window and period features offer character that can be enhanced with sympathetic renovation.
Buyers should note several material considerations: the property needs updating throughout — living areas and carpets are dated and require replacement or refurbishment. Walls are cavity as-built with no insulation assumed, glazing is double glazed but fitted before 2002, and the heating is mains gas boiler with radiators. The neighbourhood is in a very deprived area with above-average crime, which will affect tenant demand and rental yields. The rear garden is small and low maintenance, limiting outdoor amenity but keeping upkeep low.
