A three-bedroom detached Mock Tudor with garage and conservatory, offered for sale by online auction. The house provides generous living space across two floors, including a principal bedroom with en suite, separate dining area and a conservatory opening onto an enclosed rear garden. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working; local primary and secondary schools rated Good are within easy reach.
The property requires renovation and updating throughout — the kitchen and bathrooms offer clear scope for modernisation and there is potential to reconfigure spaces to add value. The small plot and suburban setting suit buyers seeking a manageable garden and off-street parking rather than extensive grounds.
Important auction conditions: this is an unconditional lot. Successful bidders pay a 5% deposit on the fall of the hammer plus a buyer’s premium of 3% + VAT (minimum £5,000 + VAT). Contracts exchange on auction day and legal completion is required 28 days after the auction, so purchasers must be prepared for a fast completion. Pre-auction offers may be considered under the same auction conditions.
Practical negatives are material and stated: the home needs renovation, the plot is modest, and local crime levels are above average. For buyers prepared to refurbish, the property presents a relatively affordable detached family home in Littleover with good connectivity and local amenities.
