This freehold semi-detached house on Markham Road offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation following recent kitchen and bathroom refurbishment. The layout provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and open living spaces across approximately 786 sq ft, suitable for first-time buyers or small families seeking outdoor space. A large rear garden and decent plot provide scope for outdoor living or extension subject to planning.
The property is sold at auction and a buyer's premium applies: 1% + VAT of the sale price (minimum £2,995 + VAT), with 25% of the total fee (minimum £995 + VAT) payable to secure the purchase and the remainder on exchange. Prospective purchasers should allow time to understand auction terms and the premium before bidding.
Location strengths include good access to the A1 and M18, nearby shops and several well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. Practical features include gas central heating, double glazing (installed before 2002) and fast broadband/mobile signal. The solid brick construction dates from the late 1960s–1970s; cavity or wall insulation is assumed absent and may require work for improved thermal performance.
Important matters: the property sits in an area with high crime levels and significant local deprivation, which may affect long-term resale and insurance costs. The overall size is modest and glazing predates modern standards; buyers should budget for any further energy-efficiency upgrades. Flood risk is low.
