Larger-than-usual terraced home near Hanley centre — ideal for first-time buyers or investors..
Two double bedrooms across two storeys, approx. 710 sq ft
A larger-than-usual Victorian mid-terrace close to Hanley city centre, this two-bedroom freehold offers practical living across about 710 sq ft. The house has UPVC double glazing, a mains-gas combi boiler and a white bathroom suite, making it immediately habitable while retaining scope for improvement. A small rear yard and an outbuilding provide modest outdoor space and useful storage.
Priced for auction, the property is well suited to first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting local rental demand. The layout is traditional and straightforward: lounge, kitchen/diner and bathroom on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms upstairs. The transport, shops and parkland nearby add everyday convenience.
Drawbacks are candid: the interior is dated and would benefit from modernisation throughout; the solid-brick walls likely lack cavity insulation and external redecoration is needed. The area shows higher-than-average crime statistics and local deprivation is significant, which may affect resale values and rental yields. Prospective buyers should allow budget for updating and seek survey advice prior to purchase.
Auction details and open-house viewings are scheduled in October — this will suit buyers ready to proceed quickly. For those comfortable with a hands-on refurbishment or buy-to-let plan, the property offers clear scope to add value in a city-centre location.
