Four double bedrooms and two reception rooms — flexible living or HMO potential
This Victorian end-terrace on Avondale, off Goddard Avenue, is a budget-priced renovation project offering clear value-add potential. With four double bedrooms and two reception rooms across approximately 927 sq ft, the layout suits an investor targeting HMOs/student lets or a buyer wanting a large family home after refurbishment. The property is freehold and retains period character such as a front bay window and high ceilings that could be restored to increase appeal.
The house requires significant updating throughout: cosmetic and systems renewal are needed, and walls are solid brick with no known insulation. There is double glazing and mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators) present but untested; buyers should budget for servicing or replacement. The plot and garden are small and the overall footprint is compact, limiting external amenity but simplifying maintenance.
Location is a practical strength: close to Newland Avenue amenities, the university, hospital and several good schools, making it attractive to students, sharers or local families. Market context includes a deprived area with high crime rates, so refurbishment should prioritise security and energy efficiency to maximise rental or resale outcomes.
Offered at £80,000, this property is positioned for buyers prepared to invest in renovation to unlock increased rental yields or resale value. A full survey is recommended to confirm condition and costs prior to purchase.
