This three-bedroom terraced property, offered chain-free, presents a straightforward buy-to-let opportunity close to Stoke-on-Trent town centre. The layout includes a living room, kitchen, family bathroom and three bedrooms upstairs, making it suitable for multiple tenants or a small family. A low-maintenance rear yard and on-street parking add practical conveniences for residents.
The house dates from the early 20th century and has solid investment fundamentals: freehold tenure, mains gas central heating and no flood risk. Its proximity to local shops, schools and transport links supports lettability and steady tenant demand in the area.
Buyers should note material negatives that affect price and management. The area records very high crime and high deprivation, which can increase voids, affect rents and necessitate stronger tenant vetting. The property shows signs of age and potential maintenance needs (possible damp and an older roof as indicated), so budget for refurbishment and ongoing repairs. Rooms and plot are modest in size, limiting scope for major extensions.
Overall, this property suits investors seeking an affordable, city-centre rental with clear refurbishment potential. It will work best for buyers prepared to invest in repairs and to manage lettings in a challenging neighbourhood to achieve long-term rental returns.
