First-floor two-bed flat above ground-floor retail unit
Freehold sale; total area approximately 1,386 sqft
Large reception room, separate kitchen and one bathroom
Double glazing and mains gas central heating present (EPC C)
Requires refurbishment — cosmetic and service renewal likely throughout
No private garden; small plot and street-facing only
Area: very deprived with above-average crime — affects tenant pool
Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal; low flood risk
Set above a ground-floor retail unit on Mill Lane, this mid-terrace building offers a first-floor two-bedroom flat with direct high-street access and clear investment potential. The apartment includes a large reception room, separate kitchen and bathroom, with double glazing and gas central heating already installed. Its EPC C and mains gas boiler are practical positives for running costs.
The property is offered freehold and presents a straightforward buy-to-let or owner-occupier opportunity for someone comfortable with town-centre living. The commercial unit below provides street-facing presence and rental diversification; current layout and footprint suit a compact family, professionals, or a landlord targeting steady local demand.
Be realistic about condition and location: the flat and building show signs of unfinished works and will need refurbishment to reach a modern standard — some cosmetic and service renewal is likely (kitchen, sanitaryware, decoration). There is no private garden and plot size is small, so outdoor space is limited. The local area is identified as very deprived with above-average crime rates, which will influence rental yield and occupier profile.
Financially the package is competitive: freehold title, modest council tax, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern living. Flood risk is low. Buyers seeking a period property with mixed-use income potential and scope for improvement will find this a practical, near-term project; those seeking a quiet residential retreat or turnkey condition should expect additional investment.
