Summary - 38a Collingwood Street, Coundon DL14 8LG
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large period house with garage and garden, auction sale for cash-ready buyers.
Three double bedrooms plus separate dressing room
This large, double-fronted three-bedroom semi offers clear scope for investment or family occupation. The house provides three reception rooms, a dressing room off the bedrooms and a garage/workshop with an enclosed rear yard — practical spaces for a growing household or conversion to rental units.
The property is sold at auction with a low guide price, making it attractive to cash-ready buyers and renovators. Important auction conditions apply: a minimum 10% deposit on fall of the hammer, a £1,500 buyer’s premium and an administration fee of £1,800 payable on exchange. Read the legal pack carefully for planning, building-safety, rights and disbursement details before bidding.
There are several material considerations: the EPC is rated E and the property’s solid-brick walls are assumed to have no added insulation, so heating costs and retrofit works are likely. Broadband and mobile speeds are average, the local area has higher-than-average crime and sits within a very deprived ward — factors to weigh for owner-occupiers or lettings.
Overall this is a substantial period house with good room sizes and off-street garage/workshop potential. It is best suited to buyers prepared to complete due diligence, budget for heating and insulation improvements, and act quickly on auction day.
