This three-bedroom mid-terrace on Harrow Road is a low-cost, chain-free purchase with immediate possession potential. The house offers a spacious through lounge/diner, separate kitchen and useful downstairs storage — practical spaces to reconfigure or modernise to your taste. The private driveway and small front lawn add kerb appeal, while the low-maintenance paved rear garden suits a busy household.
Built between the 1930s–1940s, the property requires renovation throughout: cosmetic updating, possible systems checks and general modernisation are needed. It will suit a buyer prepared for a project — first-time buyers seeking equity growth or investors targeting rental demand in this area. The home is freehold with council tax band A, mains gas heating with boiler and radiators, and double glazing (installation date unknown).
Important buying notes: the sale is via auction with a Reservation Agreement and non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum applicable), plus an additional Buyer Information Pack fee. EPC currently TBC; survey and lender checks are advised before bidding. The wider area is marked by high deprivation but very low recorded crime and access to several local schools.
With a modest footprint (approx. 848 sq ft) and traditional layout, this property represents a cost-conscious route into homeownership or a renovation-led investment. Buyers should budget for updating and confirm all auction terms and service options before committing.
