Description

This property offers a distinctive opportunity for renovation and investment through its two one-bedroom flats, currently generating an annual income of £18,000. Both units are in need of modern updates, providing potential for increased rental yield or the chance to create appealing living spaces that align with current market demands. On the ground floor, you'll find a shared entrance leading to a lounge, kitchen, utility room, and bathroom. The first-floor flat features its own lounge, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Each flat benefits from gas heating and double-glazed windows. Presently, both are occupied under assured shorthold tenancies (ASTs), ensuring immediate cash flow for an investor. Externally, the property includes a small front courtyard and a larger garden area at the rear, complemented by a single garage—an added convenience for tenants or potential buyers.
