A two-bedroom, ground-floor Victorian property offered with vacant possession and for sale by live auction. Priced at £55,000, it represents a low-entry purchase suited to investors or buyers willing to renovate. The flat retains period features such as high ceilings and a bay window in the frontage, but the accommodation is compact at around 549 sq ft.
The property benefits from mains gas central heating and double glazing, plus a paved front garden and a rear yard with gated access. It sits close to local amenities, frequent bus links and several primary schools, making it practical for letting or as an affordable starter purchase in a well-connected area.
Important considerations: the building was constructed before 1900 with solid brick walls likely lacking cavity insulation, and many internal fittings are dated — the flat will require modernisation to realise rental or resale value. It is leasehold and will be sold at auction on 26th September; buyers should check lease details and factor in renovation and potential energy-efficiency work.
Viewings are recommended for anyone considering this as a renovation project or buy-to-let. The vacant possession at completion simplifies refurbishment planning, but purchasers must budget for updating fixtures, finishes and improving thermal performance.
