This four-bedroom mid-terrace on St. Marks Road offers clear investor appeal thanks to proximity to UCLan, Preston city centre and local amenities. The recently renovated interior provides a communal lounge, modern kitchen and two shower/bathrooms, making the layout attractive to students or professionals seeking shared rental accommodation.
Period features and high ceilings give the property character and a sense of space despite a modest overall footprint (approximately 980 sq ft). A small rear yard provides limited outdoor space. Recent works appear to have upgraded the living areas, but some original elements show wear — roof wear and potential damp are noted in images and may need attention.
Practical points for buyers: double glazing was fitted before 2002, the building is solid brick with assumed no cavity insulation, and council tax is very low. The wider neighbourhood is classified as deprived with very high crime levels, which will affect rental rates and tenant demand; factor this into yield and management plans.
In short: a compact, characterful Victorian terrace with immediate rental potential and some maintenance considerations. Best suited to investors targeting the student/professional market who can manage local risks and minor refurbishment needs.
