An imposing Victorian detached house on a large plot opposite St Elphins Park, offering over 2,100 sqft of period accommodation and clear development potential. A current planning application (2024/01108/FUL) proposes conversion, extension and partial demolition of the existing building to form four apartments, plus construction of a new detached building for a further four apartments — a layout aimed at maximising rental income or resale value.
The property is sold freehold, chain-free and via Secure Sale online auction with a starting bid of £425,000. Immediate exchange of contracts is available and the auction process requires a non-refundable 5% deposit on exchange plus a reservation fee (up to 6% inc. VAT). Interested buyers should review the Legal Pack and seek legal advice before bidding.
The house retains high ceilings, large windows and red-brick period features but is a fixer-upper: parts are derelict, the roof is uneven, and the garden is overgrown. EPC rating F, above-average local crime and a very deprived wider area are material considerations. Practical strengths include mains gas central heating, double glazing (post-2002), excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for lettings or modern conversions.
This will suit experienced developers or investors able to manage renovation, planning take-up and the auction process. For a buyer prepared to invest in repairs and follow through the approved plans, the location (walking distance to Warrington town centre and nearby train stations) and the park-facing aspect create strong future potential.
