This mid-terrace two-bedroom house on Westcott Road has been recently refurbished and is presented in good decorative order. The property benefits from double glazing, a modern kitchen, a gas combi boiler and front and rear gardens that are low-maintenance. It offers average internal space (approximately 722 sq ft) with scope to create a third bedroom subject to planning permission.
The sale is for investors only and is being offered with a sitting tenant in place, providing immediate rental income. Council tax is very low (Band A) and the property is freehold, which supports running-cost efficiency for a landlord. Local transport links, schools rated Good and nearby shops make the location practical for tenants.
Buyers should note material neighbourhood and property considerations: the wider area is classified as very deprived with high local crime statistics. The building dates from the 1950s–60s and cavity walls are assumed to be without insulation, which may mean additional energy improvements are required. EPC is TBC. The plot is small and the home is an average-sized terraced property rather than a larger family house.
