A spacious three-bedroom mid-terrace in South Moor offering clear investor potential. The property measures approximately 1,281 sqft, features a large open-plan kitchen/diner, separate utility room, dressing room off the master bedroom and a sizable rear yard with gated off-street parking. It is currently let, producing rental income that reflects a strong yield at the asking price.
The house blends period exterior character with updated interior fittings—double glazing, modern kitchen island and a contemporary bathroom—reducing immediate spend on cosmetic upgrades. Practical benefits include mains gas central heating and fast mobile and broadband connectivity, useful for tenants and short-term re-letting.
Important drawbacks are the location and fabric: the area is very deprived with high local crime levels, and the terrace was built before 1900 with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation. Tenure is not specified, and the property will suit buyers who accept some ongoing maintenance and potential energy-efficiency improvements. Council tax is very low, which eases running costs for tenants.
This is best suited to a buy-to-let investor or portfolio buyer wanting an income-producing asset with scope to increase value through targeted refurbishment and insulation works. Viewing is recommended to assess condition and rental management options given the neighbourhood context.
