This first-floor Victorian three-bedroom flat in Bensham Crescent is offered chain-free and priced to reflect its need for full updating. At roughly 711 sq ft, the layout includes a living room, separate kitchen, three bedrooms and one bathroom — a compact footprint with clear potential for refurbishment or rental use.
The building is solid brick and dates from the early 20th century, with double glazing added after 2002 and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. The property is freehold, includes a small garden, and sits in a well-connected residential area with local shops, schools and frequent bus links — useful for tenant demand.
Buyers should be realistic about investment required: the flat needs modernisation throughout, the interior shows wear and dated decor, and the walls likely lack insulation. The area scores high for crime and very high on deprivation indices, which will affect both owner-occupier desirability and achievable rents or resale values.
For a hands-on investor or a buyer prepared to renovate, this low-entry-price, no-onward-chain opportunity permits improvement work to add value. The EPC rating of D and Council Tax Band A are practical considerations; upgrading heating, insulation and finishes would materially improve comfort, efficiency and marketability.
