Chain-free two-bed terrace with garden — affordable entry in Old Runcorn.
Chain-free two-bedroom mid-terrace with front and rear yards
This two-bedroom mid-terrace on Cavendish Street offers a straightforward, affordable entry into Runcorn’s Old Town. The property is chain-free and arranged over two floors with a bay-front lounge, extended kitchen/diner and two first-floor bedrooms, suited to a first-time buyer or investor seeking rental potential. Enclosed front and rear yards and a brick outhouse provide low-maintenance outdoor space and storage.
The house is small (about 559 sq ft) and built before 1900 with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation; glazing is double but installed before 2002. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. These facts point to reasonable running costs but also to likely improvement work: cavity or internal insulation, possible window upgrades, and cosmetic updating throughout to maximise comfort and resale value.
Location is a clear strength: close to Runcorn railway station, local bus routes and everyday shops, with good primary schools within walking distance and a small park opposite. However, the surrounding area scores high for deprivation and crime rates, which may influence resale or rental demand and should be considered by buyers and lenders.
Priced at £110,000 with a very low council tax band, this property is aimed at first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting local rental demand. Early viewing is advised to assess condition and the scope for straightforward improvements that will enhance value.
