Attention investors: this four-bedroom mid-terrace on Craven Street offers clear serviced-accommodation potential in a transport-connected area of Birkenhead. The bay-front ground-floor bedroom with ensuite and a reception leading to a kitchen and low-maintenance rear yard create a workable guest layout already suited to short‑stay lets.
The property is freehold, chain-free and compact (approx. 676 sq ft), with double glazing installed and a new family bathroom upstairs. Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and very low council tax, all helpful for lettings and guest reviews.
Material drawbacks are straightforward: the house needs renovation, heating is via electric room heaters, and the solid brick walls likely lack insulation. The surrounding area has high crime and significant deprivation; this affects rental risk and may reduce achievable rates. Buyers should budget for upgrades to heating, insulation and general refurbishment to meet regulatory, comfort and energy expectations.
This is a value-led purchase for a specialist investor or small portfolio owner prepared to manage refurbishment and active lettings. With work and appropriate management, the layout and location can deliver an income stream from serviced accommodation, but purchase decisions should factor in refurbishment costs and the local market context.
