This two-bedroom end terrace on Station Road is a clear project property: solid Victorian bones, double glazing, and generous overall size (approx. 980 sqft) paired with two reception rooms and a rear yard. Sold freehold at auction with a low guide price, it suits buyers prepared to carry out a full refurbishment and absorb immediate repair costs. Finance is available for bidders who qualify.
The house is being sold without internal viewings because of unsafe flooring; buyers must therefore rely on the legal pack and auction information. The current heating is by portable electric heaters in most rooms, walls lack cavity insulation (assumed), and the property has an EPC rating of G. Expect remedial work to floors, plaster, and services to bring the home to modern standards.
For investors, the layout and size make this a potential buy-to-let once refurbished — two bedrooms, separate lounge and dining room, and on-street parking. The area has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, facilitating rental demand, though the wider neighbourhood is very deprived with high local crime levels, which will influence rental values and tenant profiling.
Bidders should note auction conditions: immediate deposit and fees apply, anti-money-laundering ID and proof of funds will be required, and buying without viewing carries added risk. Council Tax Band A and a low asking price reduce holding costs short term, but factor substantial renovation and safety works into total project budgeting.
