Located in a very deprived area — may affect resale and neighbourhood services
This Edwardian semi-detached house on Liverpool Road offers five generously sized bedrooms across a flexible multi-story layout, ideal for a growing family seeking character and space. Period features such as high ceilings and a bay window give the house strong curb appeal, and two substantial basement rooms plus a large plot provide scope for expansion, outbuildings or landscaping.
The property requires full modernisation throughout, presenting a clear renovation project for buyers who want to add value and personalise the home. There is only one bathroom and some exterior and garden maintenance is needed; refurbishing heating, kitchens and bathrooms should be factored into budgets. The total internal area is modest (around 1,066 sq ft), so prospective buyers should view the layout in person to assess room proportions and circulation.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, a garage, very low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for home working. Local amenities are close by (shops, healthcare, bus links) and several nearby primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings, which will appeal to families. Be realistic about the wider area's economic challenges: the location sits in a very deprived ward, which may affect resale timescales.
For buyers looking to create a character-filled family home or an investor prepared to renovate, this property offers substantial potential. The combination of period charm, sizeable plot and extra basement space mean thoughtful refurbishment could deliver a comfortable, bespoke home or a strong uplift in value.
