Large plot, two-bedroom starter home — sold at auction, renovation potential.
Starting bid £108,000 — sold by Modern Method of Auction
A straightforward two-bedroom semi-detached house on a large plot, offered for sale by Modern Method of Auction. The property is freehold, has gas central heating, UPVC double glazing and front and rear gardens with a patio and storage unit — practical basics for a first-time buyer or small family.
Internally the layout is traditional and easy to live in: porch, entrance hall, living room, kitchen and rear porch on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. The property is described as ready to move into but the kitchen and some finishes are clearly dated and will benefit from updating to meet modern tastes.
Important buying considerations: the sale is by auction with an undisclosed reserve and buyer’s fees; a reservation fee applies and finance must be arranged accordingly. The EPC is E54 and the property sits in a very deprived area with above-average crime, which will affect resale potential and insurance. Buyers should verify construction details (timber frame noted as assumed) and consider a full inspection before purchase.
This home offers immediate occupancy and scope to add value through sensible refurbishment, particularly kitchen and cosmetic improvements. For a buyer looking to enter the market on a modest budget, the location, plot size and council tax band A make this a practical starter purchase — but factor in auction costs, neighbourhood considerations and future renovation spend.
