A Victorian mid-terrace with classic bay window and a cosy sitting room centred on a wood burner. The ground floor flows from a bay-fronted sitting room to a separate dining room and a modern-fitted kitchen; two double bedrooms and a refitted first-floor bathroom complete the layout. A long, enclosed rear garden and small front yard provide useful outdoor space.
The property is being sold at auction with no onward chain — a fast route to purchase for buyers prepared to move quickly. Note the auction terms: completion within 56 days, a non-refundable reservation fee of 4.50% (minimum £6,600) and a Buyer Information Pack fee of £349. These costs should be factored into your budget before bidding.
Structurally it is a solid-brick Victorian terrace offering scope to improve thermal efficiency and modernise finishes. The house is described as needing renovation in places; original walls likely lack insulation. Practical points: freehold tenure, mains gas heating, council tax band B, no flood risk, but local crime levels are above average. Parking is not specified, and the plot is small.
Ideal for a first-time buyer or investor seeking a characterful home to personalise, this property rewards practical renovation and energy upgrades. If you plan to bid with a mortgage, consult your lender and inspect the house thoroughly before participating in the auction.
