A large, characterful Victorian mid-terrace in a sought-after Chesterfield location, this three-bedroom house offers generous room sizes, high ceilings and period bay windows. Spread over three storeys plus a cellar, the top-floor master bedroom includes an en-suite, while the ground floor has separate lounge and dining rooms opening to a private rear garden. The property benefits from double glazing installed post-2002 and mains gas central heating.
Priced competitively at £135,000 and offered at auction, this home is best suited to first-time buyers or hands-on renovators who can add value through updating. The house needs renovation and some cosmetic works throughout — painting, new kitchen fittings and bathroom modernisation are required. The cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so upgrading thermal performance should be considered during refurbishment.
Practical points: permitted on-street parking only, a small rear garden, and very low council tax make ongoing costs modest. There is no flood risk; the area is affluent with low crime and fast broadband. Nearby schools are well-rated, including an outstanding secondary, and the town-centre location gives easy access to transport and amenities.
Important auction terms apply: the sale is by Modern Method of Auction. Buyers must sign a reservation agreement and pay a non-refundable Reservation Fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,000, incl. VAT), plus a £300 pack preparation payment. Buyers should complete full due diligence; buyer ID and proof of funding are required, and completion is expected within 56 days.
