Generous first-floor family bathroom; two double bedrooms

EPC rating D; cavity walls likely without added insulation
Small plot with a walled rear yard; limited outdoor space
Area: very deprived with high recorded crime — consider risk
Requires cosmetic renovation and possible energy upgrades
This two-bedroom mid-terraced Victorian property on Rossett Street is a straightforward, chain-free purchase ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry Liverpool home. The layout provides a bay-fronted lounge, separate dining room, compact kitchen and two first-floor bedrooms with a generous family bathroom. The house is freehold and benefits from uPVC double glazing and gas central heating.
The property is presented as a basic, liveable shell with period brickwork and original proportions but clear scope for improvement. Internally the décor and floorcoverings are dated; the boiler and radiators provide working heating but some fixtures (for example the gas fire) are currently disconnected. Walls are cavity as-built with no known added insulation; upgrading energy performance and replacing fittings would add value and comfort. EPC rating D reflects typical standards for the age and construction.
Location strengths include proximity to Newsham Park, several primary and secondary schools and good broadband speeds. Practical advantages include freehold tenure, low council tax band and no ongoing chain. However, buyers should weigh this against the immediate area's social and economic challenges: the ward is very deprived and recorded crime is high. The plot is small with only a walled rear yard and limited outdoor amenity.
For purchasers who want a modest starter home or a rental asset, the property offers clear value-add potential through cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom modernisation, and thermal improvements. Buyers requiring a quiet, low-crime neighbourhood or substantial outdoor space should consider alternatives.
