Offered for sale by traditional online auction, this four-bedroom mid-terrace presents clear short-term rental or refurbishment potential. The house is vacant with no onward chain and provides a generous layout: two reception rooms, kitchen with pantry, master with ensuite, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom. On-street parking and an enclosed rear yard add practical convenience for occupants or tenants.
Constructed circa early 20th century in solid red brick, the property retains period bay windows and a traditional footprint. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; the interior appears largely modern and bright, although some fittings and finishes may be dated. Council tax is very low, which supports affordability for owner-occupiers or lets.
Buyers should note material points before bidding. The property is a flying freehold and has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, contributing to an EPC grade D. The local area is classified as deprived with above-average crime statistics. Sale is via auction: on exchange a 10% deposit is payable (including an immediate online payment of £2,600) plus a buyer’s premium of £3,000 (inc. VAT) — check the legal pack for full fees and special conditions.
This house suits investors or hands-on buyers seeking space and rental income or a renovation project within a small town location. Its size (approximately 1,594 sq ft) and proximity to local amenities, schools and transport links give it practical appeal; however, factor in potential energy-improvement works, routine maintenance and auction-related costs when assessing value.
