Summary - 26 Cricket Meadow DY3 2BQ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Affordable starter home with gardens and strong rental potential.
Two double bedrooms with first-floor house bathroom
This two-bedroom semi-detached house offers practical, move-in-ready accommodation after a recent full redecoration. The ground floor gives flexible living with a spacious lounge, separate dining room and a modern fitted kitchen, complemented by a generous utility room for storage or laundry. Two double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom complete the layout over approximately 732 sq ft. Front and rear gardens provide outdoor space and a decent plot.
The property is being sold by the Modern Method of Auction with a starting bid of £145,000. Buyers should note the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of purchase price, minimum £6,600 including VAT) and the 56-day completion timescale to allow for mortgage finance. Prospective purchasers must also complete ID verification and provide proof of funds.
There are clear resale and rental appeals: freehold tenure, double glazing, gas central heating and a compact, low council tax Band A. However, the location shows higher-than-average crime and very high area deprivation, which can affect yields and resale pace. The house sits in a historic mining area (no specific known issues) and services should be independently checked.
Suitable for first-time buyers seeking an affordable starter home or investors targeting a rental close to local schools and transport. Early viewing is advised to assess condition — images note some damaged plaster/wall areas in the living room — and to review legal and survey reports before bidding.
