- Two-bedroom mid-terraced house, circa 1900–1929, 761 sq ft
- Priced at £75,000 — strong project/investment proposition
- Requires full renovation; dated interiors and likely service upgrades
- Walls likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone — insulation needed
- Mains gas boiler and radiators in place; heating present
- No visible front or rear garden; small plot typical of terraces
- Local area: very deprived classification and above-average crime
- Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; flood risk: none
This two-bedroom mid-terraced house on Cromer Street is a clear renovation project with strong value-add potential. Priced at £75,000 for a modest 761 sq ft footprint, it will suit buyers willing to invest time and budget to modernise fixtures, finishes and services. The property retains period build characteristics (circa 1900–1929) but is currently dated and requires full refurbishment to reach modern standards.
Practical assets include mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and no flooding risk. The compact layout provides straightforward scope to improve room flow and finishes; upgrading heating, insulation (walls likely uninsulated sandstone/limestone) and windows will materially increase comfort and value. Council tax is very cheap, helping lower ongoing costs during refurbishment.
Significant negatives are the property’s location context and condition. The local area is classified as very deprived with above-average crime levels and limited external space — there appears to be no front garden and no visible rear garden. Tenure is not specified and the house will need renovation works, potentially including thermal upgrades, electrical improvements and cosmetic replacement throughout.
This home is best for a cash buyer, investor or a practical first-time buyer comfortable with a project. For an investor, the low purchase price and small footprint offer potential for a cost-effective refurbishment and resale or rental. For an owner-occupier, expect renovation costs and limited outdoor space; factor in checks on tenure, services and any planned local regeneration before proceeding.
