Description

This charming, Victorian terraced house occupies a convenient location northeast of the City Centre and is just a short stroll from the river. It is in excellent decorative order throughout and offers a great deal of character, offering two fireplaces, many sash windows, panelled doors, stripped woodwork and a quarry tile floor within the kitchen/breakfast room.

Enjoying a dual aspect, the spacious living room has stripped floorboards throughout and enjoys a multi-fuel stove, further cast iron fire place, built-in storage and stairs to the first floor. Light and airy, the period-style kitchen/breakfast room has a sash window to the side and a window offering views of the garden. It is fitted with a range of units featuring solid wood work tops with brick-tiled splashbacks, Belfast sink, inset gas hob with extractor hood over, built-in oven, integrated dishwasher, space for fridge/freezer, space and plumbing for washing machine and part glazed door to side.

On the first floor, the landing has stripped floorboards and a staircase to the second floor. The front bedroom is a double in size, with two sash windows. Attractively fitted, the bathroom includes a claw foot bath with tiled surround and shower over, wash basin with tiled splashback, low-level WC, stripped floor boards, heated towel rail and sash window to rear.

A staircase leads up to the loft room, which has its own door and creates a private space. It is of a generous size and has been finished to a good standard. Having been used as a bedroom for many years, it has a roof light to the rear and three built-in eaves storage cupboards.

At the front is a paved garden with low-level boundary wall and screen hedging. To the rear is a long and enclosed south-facing garden. Unusually for terraced house, it offers a high degree of privacy with gated pedestrian access and is mainly laid to lawn with patio, shrub borders, a landscaped vegetable garden with raised beds, and timber shed.

Rent-driven metrics

Based on Area rent estimate.

Rent ratio 0.47%
Max investor price (0.8%) £225,000
Target investor price (1%) £180,000
  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
