A compact two-bedroom semi-detached home on Broad Street, Crewe, offering straightforward living in a popular, well-served part of town. The ground floor features a large open-plan living/dining area with an understairs store and a separate kitchen; upstairs provides a spacious master bedroom, a second bedroom suitable as an office or guest room, and a three-piece bathroom. The low-maintenance enclosed garden includes a paved patio and brick-built store shed. Double glazing and gas central heating are present, and the house sits on a freehold title.
This property will suit first-time buyers seeking an affordable entry into homeownership and investors targeting a rental market with strong local demand. The current rental estimate is about £750 pcm, and the location is within walking distance of shops, buses, local amenities and schools. Broadband and mobile signal are good, and the house benefits from conventional mains gas heating and a standard boiler-and-radiator system.
Buyers should note this is an early-20th-century solid-brick property (circa 1900–1929) with assumed solid walls and no built-in insulation. The home will reward some updating and cosmetic improvement: the exterior and interior show period character but need renovation to modern standards. The plot is small and the area is classified as very deprived with average local crime; nearby schools are mixed in Ofsted outcomes. Council tax band A keeps running costs low.
Overall, the house offers practical, affordable space and clear potential for value-add refurbishment or rental income. It’s a straightforward purchase for someone prepared to invest modestly in modernising a period property in a convenient town-centre location.
