This three-bedroom freehold home offers straightforward living across around 966 sq ft with a large rear garden and good broadband and mobile connectivity. The layout includes a generous front lounge, rear dining room, kitchen with side access, and useful under-stairs storage — a practical family or starter-home arrangement. Constructed in the mid-20th century and fitted with double glazing and gas central heating, it presents sensible ongoing running costs and a cheap council tax band.
Sold via the Modern Method of Online Auction, the sale requires completion within a 56-day Reservation Period. Buyers should budget for the non-refundable Reservation Fee of 4.5% (minimum £6,600) and the Buyer Information Pack fee (£349). Additional optional services may be offered for up to £450. If you need a mortgage, arrange lender checks and a viewing before bidding.
The property sits in a mixed, hard-pressed area with very high local deprivation; nearby schools and services are available but standards are mixed (several primary schools rated Good, one secondary rated Inadequate). The house is system-built with external insulation — practical but indicative of its era — and may suit buyers seeking a sensible starter, a renovation project, or a rental investment with room for improvement.
Practical positives include a large private garden, double glazing installed post-2002, mains gas heating, and excellent mobile signal. Notable considerations include the auction sale costs, the single family bathroom, the age and construction type of the property, and the surrounding area’s socioeconomic challenges.
