Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This two-bedroom terraced house presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a spacious property at a notably cheap asking price of £160,000, which is £131/sqft compared to the local average of £257/sqft. The home boasts a generous 1,220 sqft layout, including a modern fitted kitchen-diner and stylish bathroom, making it a solid choice for first-time buyers or investors looking to unlock value through renovation.

While the garden requires some maintenance, the overall condition of the property is good, with well-sized bedrooms and a spacious lounge. The additional boarded loft space adds potential for further development, whether as an extra bedroom or a home office, pending necessary consents. With an all-in renovation budget estimated between £30,000 and £50,000, there is ample scope to enhance this home and create significant value, especially given its strong economic fundamentals and excellent margin against local averages.

  • Modern fitted kitchen and stylish bathroom already in place.
