A traditional two-bedroom semi-detached home on Mountbatten Avenue offering an accessible entry into homeownership in Outwood. The house sits on a decent plot with a driveway, enclosed rear garden and typical mid-20th century features such as a bay-windowed living room and gas central heating.
The property is offered for sale by Modern Auction; there is no upper chain which can speed completion. Buyers should note the auction process includes an undisclosed reserve price, a non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of the purchase price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) and completion within 56 days, so allow time for mortgage lender checks and your own due diligence.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance hall, living room, kitchen-diner, downstairs WC, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The accommodation is of average size (approx. 819 sq ft) and will suit a first-time buyer or investor looking for a value purchase and renovation potential.
Practical points: the house appears structurally sound but requires some modernization and cosmetic updating. Wall construction is cavity brick with assumed no insulation, glazing is double but installation date is unknown, and services have not been independently tested. The freehold tenure and very low council tax band reduce ongoing costs.
Viewings and a careful pre-auction survey are recommended so buyers can assess renovation work required and clarify all auction fees and contract terms before bidding.
