This three-bedroom end-of-terrace on Grafton Road is a clear value-add project for investors or ambitious owner-occupiers. The house is offered as a freehold with off-street parking, a sizeable rear garden and a conventional layout: two reception rooms, kitchen and three first-floor bedrooms. The property dates from the 1950s and presents substantial scope to refurbish and improve the living space and finishes.
The home requires renovation throughout — cosmetic and likely mechanical works are needed, including heating, insulation and kitchen/bathroom upgrades. Windows are double glazed but install dates are unknown; walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation. Buyers should plan for general refurbishment costs and a pre-purchase inspection to check services and structure.
Location strengths include good transport links (near M5 and local bus routes), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus nearby schools and local amenities. Practical positives — freehold tenure, mains gas boiler and radiators, a decent plot with side access and a brick outbuilding — support strong value-add potential for resale or rental once improved.
Be realistic about the neighbourhood context: the area shows high deprivation indicators and above-average crime levels, so refurbishment should consider security and local market expectations. For those ready to invest time and budget, this property offers a straightforward route to add significant value.
