Confidence: LOW

This three-bedroom terraced house on Smith Street in Balderton presents a compelling opportunity for buyers looking to create value through renovation. Priced at £120,000, it stands at £171 per square foot, significantly below the local average of £231 per square foot, making this a very attractive acquisition for investors or first-time buyers seeking a project. While the property requires updating throughout, including the living areas, bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom, this provides a blank canvas for personalisation to suit your tastes.

The home benefits from a good location with access to local amenities and excellent transport links, enhancing its appeal. The exterior brickwork is well-maintained, and a low-maintenance courtyard garden offers functional outdoor space. This property is not just a renovation project but a chance to craft a home tailored to your needs in a desirable area. Given the medium scale of the required updates, this property is a solid choice for those looking to invest in a renovation with potential upside.
