This two-bedroom semi-detached home on Whincover Road is a budget-friendly entry to homeownership or a hands-on rental opportunity. The property is offered chain-free and includes front and a large rear garden that backs onto farmland — useful outside space rare at this price. The vendor estimates potential rental income once improved at about £750 pcm, and the home sits within easy reach of bus routes, schools and road links for commuting.
The house requires some modernisation and updating throughout: cosmetic and kitchen upgrades are needed, and there is separate WC and bathroom to rationalise. The vendor materials state gas central heating and double glazing, but some records also reference electric room heaters; buyers should verify the heating system before purchase. EPC C and Council Tax Band A help keep running costs relatively low once improvements are made.
This property will suit first-time buyers who can carry out phased improvements, or buy-to-let investors aiming for a modest-yield refurbishment. Be aware the wider area has high crime and significant deprivation indicators; factor in management, security and letting considerations. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support modern working-from-home needs.
Early internal viewing is advised to assess the scope of works and confirm services. The house is small (circa 474 sq ft) and traditional in layout, so expect straightforward, affordable renovation rather than major structural works.
