Summary - 415 OLD CHESTER ROAD BIRKENHEAD CH42 2DU
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free five-bed refurbishment opportunity near transport and schools.
Double-fronted Victorian semi with bay windows and high ceilings
A double-fronted, five-bedroom Victorian semi with strong rental or resale potential after renovation. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, allowing a quick purchase and programme of works. High ceilings, bay windows and generous room proportions preserve period character and give flexibility for reconfiguration or conversion to multiple lets.
The house does require comprehensive modernisation: heating runs from a mains-gas boiler and radiators, glazing predates 2002, and external walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation. The interior layout includes two generous reception rooms, a ground-floor wet room, kitchen with adjacent utility, and a modern family bathroom upstairs; structural defects are not indicated but services and finishes need updating.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, good transport links and a range of local amenities. Several well-rated primary and secondary schools are nearby. Note the area records high deprivation scores and average local crime; buyers should factor local market conditions into planning and pricing.
For an investor or purchaser comfortable with a refurbishment project, this property offers a sizeable footprint (approx. 1,420 sq ft), a decent plot with low-maintenance rear garden and side access, and clear scope to add value. Council tax is very low, and the sale is freehold and chain-free, simplifying redevelopment or letting decisions.
