A stone-fronted Victorian mid-terrace offering more internal space than the street view suggests. The house has a front lounge, a generous dining kitchen, and two substantial lower-ground rooms that provide flexible space for a home gym, workshop or additional living area.
The property has three bedrooms, an ensuite shower to one room and a family bathroom. Basic comforts are in place with mains gas boiler and radiators and double glazing (install date unknown). Small paved front and rear yards are low-maintenance and practical for urban living.
This sale is by Modern Method of Auction with a starting bid of £120,000. Buyers should note the non-refundable reservation fee (4.5% of price, min. £6,600) and a requirement to complete within 56 days — important if you need a mortgage. The house is sold freehold and is best suited to buyers prepared to undertake renovation work to modernise finishes and services.
Honest negatives: the house needs renovation, the terrace was built without modern wall insulation (stone/granite construction assumed), and the local area records high crime and significant deprivation. Transport links and nearby schools are practical positives, but factor renovation costs and the auction terms into purchase calculations.
