This mid-terrace Victorian property offers an affordable, chain-free entry into St Helens with a very long lease (998 years). Positioned close to the town centre, it provides easy access to shops, transport links and several well-rated primary schools, making daily life convenient for first-time buyers or landlords seeking rental demand.
Internally the house is compact but usefully arranged over two floors: entrance sitting room, separate dining/living room, fitted kitchen and a recently refitted ground-floor shower room. Two principal bedrooms are on the first floor with a third smaller room accessed via bedroom two. A rear enclosed courtyard and a useful outbuilding add practical storage or home-office potential.
Work is needed to modernise interiors and improve finishes to achieve best value. The property appears to have solid brick walls assumed without insulation, standard-height ceilings and dated elements in places. There is no off-street parking and rooms are small-to-average, so buyers should budget for cosmetic updating and possible insulation improvements.
Important material considerations: the location is in a very deprived area with very high local crime levels, which will affect resale and rental perceptions. Practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, a cheap council tax band and fast broadband/mobile signal. Early viewing is recommended if you’re seeking an inexpensive terraced home with scope to add value.
