Low-entry renovation project with garden and good broadband in Stanley.
Freehold Victorian mid-terrace, c.1,109 sq ft, three bedrooms
A Victorian mid-terrace offering 3 bedrooms and c.1,109 sq ft, presented as a renovation project with clear potential. The house is freehold, has mains gas central heating and double glazing installed before 2002, and includes a small rear garden and larger front lawn — useful outdoor space for a growing family or rental appeal.
The interior retains period features such as a fireplace, ceiling mouldings and traditional proportions; rooms are compact to medium sized. The current layout provides lounge, dining room, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms across multiple floors, giving scope to reconfigure or modernise to increase comfort and value.
Be realistic about work required: the property is described as needing renovation, with solid brick walls likely without insulation and dated fittings in places. The area is in a deprived ward with very high recorded crime, which will affect both family buyers and lettings; on the plus side local primary and secondary schools mostly hold Good Ofsted grades, broadband and mobile signal are strong, and there is no flood risk.
This will suit a buyer prepared to invest time and budget to modernise — either a homeowner wanting a low-priced project in Stanley or an investor seeking value-add rental stock. The very low price and cheap council tax reflect condition and local area challenges rather than the building’s inherent potential.
