A substantial five-bedroom detached bungalow on a large corner plot offering clear scope for refurbishment or redevelopment (subject to any consents). The property is sold vacant at public auction with a guide price of £100,000 and is freehold — cash buyers only should note.
The house is a mid-1970s single-storey build of about 1,141 sq ft with a lounge/diner, kitchen (no fittings), utility, bathroom (no fittings) and an en-suite bedroom. It needs a full upgrade throughout: cosmetic works, new fittings, and likely mechanical and electrical updates. The roof shows moss and there are signs of general disrepair and damp in places.
Benefits include a large wrap‑around garden, driveway and garage plus additional land to the side that may offer development potential subject to planning permission. The area is established with good local amenities, several ‘Good’ primary and secondary schools nearby, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, making the location functional for families or HMO/investment conversions.
Practical points: EPC D, Council Tax Band B, average local crime, and the wider area faces social and economic deprivation. Buyers should allow for significant refurbishment costs and confirm all planning or services details before bidding.
