Updated boiler, radiators, plumbing and full electrical work

Small plot and average room sizes — limited outside space
This three-storey, four-bedroom freehold townhouse on Cotton Lane is offered with a sitting tenant, providing immediate rental income and a strong buy-to-let opportunity. Recent refurbishment work — including a new roof (2017), updated kitchen and bathrooms, new boiler, radiators, plumbing, electrics and new flooring — reduces short-term maintenance costs and helps protect yield.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with a ground-floor lounge, modern kitchen, and ground-floor WC; two bedrooms and an ensuite on the first floor; two further bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom on the second. The property includes off-street parking, small front and rear gardens, UPVC double glazing and gas central heating.
Location factors that affect investment performance are factual: the area ranks as very deprived with above-average crime, and local secondary provision is mixed. These characteristics influence tenant demand, rental levels and long-term appreciation — they also support stronger yields for investors prepared to manage the local market. The property is chain-free and newly renovated, but it is sold with a sitting tenant, so viewings and vacant possession terms should be checked before purchase.
Overall this is a practical, low-maintenance rental asset for investors seeking immediate income and limited short-term work. Buyers should verify tenancy details, carrying costs, and local market rents, and consider the social and schooling profile when assessing longer‑term capital growth potential.
