This two-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace on Shakespeare Street offers a compact, practical home close to Liverpool city centre. The property is freehold and presented with a versatile third room useful as a study, nursery or dressing room. Transport links and local amenities are within easy reach, making it suitable for first-time buyers or investors seeking a low-maintenance rental in a well-connected spot.
The sale will be conducted via the Modern Method of Auction. Prospective buyers should note the auction process (deposit or buyer fee, 56 days to exchange) and that the property is offered with a reserve price. The advert states the house is well-presented and move-in ready, but exterior brickwork and internal fittings may require attention over time — viewers should inspect condition and services closely.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to Bootle town centre, regular bus routes and train links for commuting into Liverpool. Nearby schools include All Saints Catholic Primary (Good) and Linacre Primary (Requires Improvement), offering options for families. Practical drawbacks are the very deprived local area classification and above-average crime levels; the plot is small and parking is on-street only.
For buyers prioritising value and proximity to the city, this property represents a straightforward purchase or rental prospect. However, budget for potential routine maintenance and be comfortable with the auction buying process and local area challenges before committing to view or bid.
