A spacious four-bedroom detached stone house on Ironworks Road, offered chain free and due to be sold at auction. The property provides generous living space across approximately 1,680 sq ft with two reception rooms, two bathrooms and a decent plot — well suited to a growing family or an investor targeting rental demand in Tow Law.
Built around 1900–1929, the home retains period character in its stone walls and traditional exterior. It benefits from mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators and double glazing already installed, although the glazing dates from before 2002. The layout offers clear potential for improvement or modernisation to increase comfort and value.
Practical considerations: the stone walls are assumed to have no built-in insulation and some updating may be required to meet modern efficiency standards. Broadband speeds are average and the wider area shows signs of deprivation, though local schools are rated Good and local amenities are within easy reach. There is no flood risk and mobile signal is excellent. Council Tax is affordable (Band C) and the freehold tenure provides ownership clarity.
This property suits buyers prepared to carry out cosmetic or energy-efficiency upgrades, or investors seeking a mid-market rental in a small-town setting. The auction sale and chain-free status mean a quicker transaction for a buyer who can move promptly.
