Chain-free three-bed with driveway and garden in central Southport — ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Three-bedroom semi-detached family home, traditional layout
This three-bedroom semi-detached home on Shakespeare Street offers straightforward, practical living in a central Southport location. The open-plan living/dining room and kitchen/breakfast space suit everyday family life and informal entertaining, while three first-floor bedrooms and a recently upgraded shower room mean the property is ready to occupy. Chain free and freehold, it’s an easy move for first-time buyers or landlords seeking a buy-to-let in a well-served area.
Outside, a block-paved driveway provides off-street parking and the small rear garden is enclosed by high fencing for privacy and low maintenance. Built in the early 20th century with cavity walls and double glazing, the house delivers solid traditional construction and straightforward upkeep; main heating is gas boiler and radiators.
Buyers should note a few practical limitations: broadband speeds in the area are slow, the plot is small, and the broader neighbourhood is classified as relatively deprived. The EPC is D and council tax is low, which helps running costs, but some cosmetic updating or energy improvements could add value over time. Overall this is a sensible, well-located home for those prioritising convenience and affordability.
