This compact Victorian mid-terrace offers clear value for an investor or buyer prepared to renovate. The stone-built property has three bedrooms, two reception rooms, a kitchen-diner plus utility, and an enclosed rear yard — a flexible layout for rental or resale after updating. Its small footprint (736 sqft) and single bathroom suit cost-aware refurbishments rather than a large family conversion.
The house is chain-free and double-glazed (installed post-2002), with mains gas central heating and a D EPC — useful starting points when budgeting works. Notable defects include visible damp in the living room, likely cold stone walls with no insulation, and a general need for modernization throughout. These factors will affect scope, timescale, and costs of refurbishment.
Location is a practical strength: walking distance to highly rated primary schools, local amenities, and The Coppice green space which supports rental appeal to families and professionals. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, aiding marketability. The property sits in a deprived area of terraced housing; expect lower-priced comparables and steady tenant demand but factor in higher management attention and potential voids.
Practical considerations: the tenure is leasehold, council tax band is very cheap, and the property is sold with no onward chain. For an investor seeking a value purchase under £80,000 or a buyer wanting to create a personalised home, this house offers a clear scope to add value — provided you allow for remedial works, insulation, and damp treatment.
