A well-presented two-bedroom semi in central Southport, ideal for a first-time buyer seeking space and convenience. The house is offered freehold and benefits from uPVC double glazing, gas central heating and two good-sized reception rooms that suit everyday living and entertaining.
The plot is a standout: a particularly large rear garden with shale terrace, extensive shaped lawn and mature borders plus paved hardstanding providing useful off-street parking. Rooms are generous for the size (bedroom one is notably large) and the footprint will suit those wanting a comfortable home close to town amenities and transport links.
The property has been improved by the current owner but still offers clear potential to add value through cosmetic modernisation or reconfiguration. Practical positives include cheap council tax (Band B), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband availability for remote working.
Be factual about location: the area has above-average crime and sits within a deprived local area classification, which may influence mortgage offers or rental yields. Walls are assumed to be cavity with no added insulation, so buyers should budget for any energy-efficiency upgrades they want to make.
