Two-bedroom house with large garden and refurbishment upside near transport links.
Sold at auction — quick purchase timetable
Offered for sale via auction, this freehold two-bedroom mid-20th-century terrace in Stanley presents a clear refurbishment and rental opportunity. The house occupies an average-sized footprint (approx. 749 sq ft) with two reception rooms, a large front garden and rear yard with stores. With work, the property could achieve an estimated rent of £650+ PCM.
Internally the layout is practical: a dual-aspect living room, separate dining room opening to the kitchen, and two good-sized first-floor bedrooms. Many original mid-century features remain, including a fireplace and textured ceilings; windows are single glazed and some cosmetic updating will be required. Heating is gas; bathroom is a standard three-piece suite.
Key positives are the freehold tenure, generous main bedroom, exterior space and quick auction timetable for buyers seeking a short purchase route. Material drawbacks to factor into budgets are the need for cosmetic and likely energy-efficiency improvements (single glazing), a dated decor and fittings, and the property's location in a very deprived area with high local crime rates—these influence lettability and resale values.
This home will suit cash buyers or investors comfortable buying at auction and undertaking a straightforward refurbishment. For owner-occupiers, the house offers space and a large front garden but requires readiness to tackle upgrading and potential neighbourhood-related issues before settling in.
