Compact four-bedroom terrace offering multi-let potential with off-street parking and garden.
Freehold mid-terrace with four bedrooms and two bathrooms
This four-bedroom mid-terrace on Central Drive is presented as a house-share opportunity with clear investor appeal. The freehold tenure, four separate bedrooms, two bathrooms and off-street parking make it straightforward to operate as a multi-let or HMO with limited immediate structural work. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and double glazing was installed post-2002—useful practical perks for tenants.
The property dates from c.1900–1929 and retains period brick character externally; however, internal areas need modernization. Wall construction is solid brick with assumed no insulation and some rooms are described as small. Buyers should budget for heating upgrades, insulation and general cosmetic works to refresh dated fittings and improve energy performance.
Location factors influence value: the local area is classified as deprived with high crime levels, and several nearby schools have mixed Ofsted ratings. Council tax is very low, which supports keeping ongoing costs down but reflects local affordability. These characteristics suit an investor seeking rental yield rather than a premium, long-term owner-occupier return.
Overall this is a compact, income-focused purchase: ready for a hands-on landlord or developer able to complete targeted refurbishment to improve rents and curb appeal. Material negatives — area deprivation, higher crime and likely insulation/heating works — are plainly stated and should be factored into acquisition and refurbishment budgets.
