A compact Victorian mid-terrace offering practical two-bedroom accommodation in central St Helens. The house has been freshly redecorated with new downstairs carpets and a neutral, move-in ready finish — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a straightforward purchase or an investor targeting entry-level rentals. The layout includes a lounge, fitted kitchen, two first-floor bedrooms and a three-piece bathroom, plus a small private rear yard.
Important positives are the recent cosmetic refresh, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and very low council tax costs. The property’s modest footprint and solid brick construction give scope for targeted improvements to increase value, such as internal modernisation and adding insulation where possible.
Buyers should note material limitations: the tenure is leasehold; heating relies on electric room heaters rather than a gas central system; the street and wider area show high crime levels and significant deprivation; and walls are original solid brick with no known cavity insulation. Room sizes are compact, so this house suits buyers who prioritise location and affordability over generous living space.
Overall this is a practical, low-cost entry property with clear potential for value uplift after modest upgrades. It will appeal most to first-time buyers ready to accept small rooms and to investors seeking steady rental demand in an affordable neighbourhood.
