Chain-free Victorian terrace — renovation project with strong rental and location potential.
Chain-free freehold three-bedroom terraced property
This three-bedroom terraced house in Deacon Road, Widnes, is offered chain-free and freehold, presenting a clear purchase route for investors or buyers comfortable with refurbishment. The property occupies an average-sized footprint of about 904 sq ft with traditional Victorian features to the exterior and a small rear courtyard and front garden. Practical positives include two bathrooms, proximity to the town centre, good schools, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Internally the layout is traditional with a lounge, dining area, kitchen and utility space on the ground floor and three bedrooms upstairs. The contemporary-style kitchen has solid cabinetry and natural light but the property overall needs renovation — cosmetic and likely systems updating are required. The small plot and compact room sizes limit extension potential without planning permission.
Location is a key asset: central position close to shops, public transport links and several well-rated schools including an Outstanding secondary. There is no flood risk and council tax is low, supporting rental affordability. Broadband and mobile connectivity are strong for modern tenants or owners working from home.
Important drawbacks are material and must be considered: the area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which will affect resale and lettings risk. The property is sold as a refurbishment project rather than a turnkey home, so budget for structural, electrical and decorative works. For the right buyer this is a competitively priced opportunity to add value quickly, or to secure a rental income stream close to town amenities.
