- Requires modernisation throughout; signs of black mould present

This vacant two-bedroom mid-terrace offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Oswestry just a short walk from the town centre. The compact layout totals about 591 sq ft and includes a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a small private rear yard — practical for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward purchase.
Built around 1900–1929 in solid brick, the property retains period character but requires modernisation throughout. There are signs of black mould and dated finishes; the walls are assumed uninsulated, and the house would benefit from updating to the heating, decor and possibly ventilation. These works present scope to add value and improve comfort.
Practical positives include mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. Council tax is very low, and the house is vacant so can be occupied or let quickly. Note the local context: very high crime levels and a very deprived area profile, which should be factored into resale or rental expectations.
For a buyer who wants a low-price, city-centre starter home or an investor seeking a renovation project with rental potential, this property is a clear, affordable proposition. Arrange a survey to confirm structural and damp details and to scope insulation or ventilation improvements before committing.
