Externally, the property boasts easy-to-maintain front and rear gardens, with the rear garden benefiting from a desirable southerly aspect. An allocated parking space is available behind the property, and the rear yard has potential for accommodating two small cars.

Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This four-bedroom terraced home presents an appealing opportunity for buyers looking to add value through renovation. With a guide price of £180,000, the property is attractively priced at £174/sqf, significantly under the local average of £217/sqf. This affordability opens the door for potential investors or families eager to modernise the dated interiors and create a home tailored to their tastes.

The property shows signs of wear throughout, with dated decor in the living areas and bedrooms, as well as a kitchen that requires updating. However, the presence of new UPVC double-glazed windows adds some value. The versatility of the space, previously registered as a five-bedroom HMO, provides an exciting scope for conversion or further development. While the all-in costs are tight against local benchmarks, there remains substantial potential to enhance the property's appeal and functionality, making this a worthwhile project for the right buyer.
