Walthall Street, Crewe, Cheshire, CW2

Whitegates Crewe are delighted to present this two-bedroom terraced property, situated on Walthall Street, CW2, offered for sale by the Modern Method of Auction. Representing an excellent opportunity for investors, landlords and buyers looking for a renovation project, this property offers fantastic potential to add value and create an attractive rental investment. With two well-proportioned bedrooms, two separate reception rooms and a convenient location within walking distance of Nantwich Road, the property provides a great opportunity for anyone looking to expand their property portfolio.

The property would benefit from renovation and modernisation throughout the main living accommodation and bedrooms, presenting an opportunity for purchasers to put their own stamp on the home. Importantly, the kitchen and bathroom are both in a serviceable condition and would not necessarily require immediate attention. This could allow investors to concentrate their refurbishment budget on the areas that would benefit most from improvement.

Upon entering the property, you are welcomed directly into the front living room, a well-proportioned reception area offering plenty of potential to become a comfortable and inviting space. The room would benefit from updating and redecoration, allowing a purchaser to create an attractive lounge suitable for either an owner-occupier or future tenant.

Moving further through the property, you arrive at the separate dining room, another generously proportioned reception space that adds valuable flexibility to the ground-floor accommodation. This room provides an excellent setting for a dining table and additional furniture, with the potential to become an appealing second reception area following refurbishment. Having two separate reception rooms is a particularly useful feature, offering a practical layout that could appeal to a wide range of prospective tenants.

Positioned towards the rear of the property is the kitchen, providing a dedicated space for cooking and food preparation. The kitchen offers a practical arrangement for everyday use and provides direct access through to the bathroom, making good use of the available ground-floor space.

Beyond the kitchen is the ground-floor bathroom, completing the internal accommodation on this level. Conveniently positioned to the rear of the property, this provides the home's main bathroom facilities and complements the practical layout of the ground floor.

Moving upstairs, the first-floor landing provides access to two well-proportioned bedrooms, both offering good flexibility for bedroom furniture and future use.

Bedroom One is a generously sized double bedroom, offering plenty of space to create a comfortable principal bedroom. The room would benefit from modernisation and redecoration, presenting an opportunity to create a fresh and welcoming space that would appeal to prospective tenants or future homeowners.

Bedroom Two is another excellent-sized bedroom, offering proportions that make it particularly useful as a second double bedroom. This is an attractive feature from an investment perspective, as two well-sized bedrooms can appeal to couples, small families and tenants looking for additional space to work from home. Like the principal bedroom, this room would benefit from refurbishment to bring it up to a more modern standard.

One of the property's main attractions is its straightforward and practical layout. With two reception rooms, two bedrooms, a separate kitchen and a ground-floor bathroom, the accommodation provides a good foundation for refurbishment. The fact that the kitchen and bathroom would not necessarily require immediate attention is an added benefit, potentially reducing the amount of work required compared with properties needing complete renovation throughout.

Externally, the property benefits from a rear yard, providing a private outdoor area that could be improved to create an attractive, low-maintenance space. For a rental property, this is a useful addition, offering tenants somewhere to sit outside without the responsibility of maintaining a particularly large garden.

Parking is available on street, in keeping with the surrounding residential properties.

From an investment perspective, the property offers an exciting opportunity to add value through refurbishment, with an estimated potential rental income of approximately £775–£800 per calendar month, subject to the standard of the completed works and prevailing rental market conditions.

This would represent an indicative gross annual rental income of approximately £9,300–£9,600, before allowing for management costs, maintenance, insurance, void periods and other landlord expenses. For buyers looking to build or expand a rental portfolio, the combination of a practical two-bedroom layout, refurbishment potential and convenient location makes this property well worth considering.

The opportunity to modernise the main living accommodation and bedrooms is arguably one of the property's strongest selling points. Rather than purchasing a property where all the refurbishment has already been completed, an investor has the freedom to select their own finishes, manage their renovation budget and create a property that meets the expectations of their target rental market. With the kitchen and bathroom not necessarily requiring immediate replacement, there may also be an opportunity to keep initial refurbishment costs more manageable.

Walthall Street is conveniently situated within an established residential area of Crewe, with excellent access to a wide range of local amenities. One of the biggest advantages of the location is its proximity to Nantwich Road, a popular and well-connected part of the town offering a variety of shops, supermarkets, cafés, takeaways and other everyday services.

Crewe Railway Station is also within walking distance, providing excellent transport connections to major destinations including Manchester, Birmingham and London. This is a particularly useful feature for prospective tenants who commute or rely on public transport, adding to the property's potential appeal within the local rental market.

Crewe town centre is also easily accessible, offering further shopping facilities, supermarkets, leisure amenities and local services. The surrounding area benefits from established residential streets and convenient road connections towards Nantwich, the A500 and the wider Cheshire area.

For investors, this combination of nearby amenities, railway connections and access to the town centre is an important consideration. Properties positioned within convenient reach of employment opportunities, transport links and everyday facilities can appeal to a broad range of prospective tenants, particularly those seeking practical and affordable accommodation.

The property is being offered for sale through the Modern Method of Auction, providing an alternative purchasing process with an online bidding system and a structured timeframe for progressing the sale.
