Summary - 164 CHARLES STREET ST HELENS WA10 1LP
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Affordable two-bedroom starter or rental near St Helens station and shops.
No upward chain, ready for quick completion
A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace positioned a short walk from St Helens town centre and the railway station. The house has been extended and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, giving immediate comfort and straightforward running costs. Its small footprint and modest room sizes make it particularly suitable for a first-time buyer seeking an affordable starter home or an investor targeting steady town-centre rental demand.
Internally the accommodation is functional rather than show-home perfect: reception room with laminate flooring and a fitted kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and a small utility/anti-space. The courtyard garden and very large overall plot offer potential to personalise the outside space, subject to permissions. Period features such as a fireplace add character, but headroom and room sizes are limited compared with modern builds.
Buyers should note material considerations plainly: the property is in a very deprived area with above-average local crime levels, and the terrace was originally built without wall insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated). The footprint is small (418 sq ft) so layout reconfiguration would be constrained. Tenure details are not provided and should be confirmed before offer. No upward chain is a clear advantage for a speedy move or letting.
For a first-time buyer this is an affordable entry into a well-connected town location with nearby good schools and transport. For an investor, the central location and compact, low-maintenance layout make it straightforward to prepare for lettings, though yields will reflect the area profile and any refurbishment costs.
