This three-bedroom semi-detached house on Douthwaite Road is presented for sale via online auction with a long-term tenant in situ, offering immediate rental income for buy-to-let investors. The property was constructed post-2007, benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a modern fitted kitchen, making it straightforward to re-let or hold as a rental asset.
The layout includes a reception room, fitted kitchen, family bathroom and three well-proportioned bedrooms across approximately 980 sq ft. Externally there is a small rear garden and an off-street driveway for parking. The property holds an EPC rating of C, which supports lettability while offering scope for modest improvements to enhance yield.
Important auction and location considerations: the lot is sold unconditionally at timed online auction with a non-refundable 10% deposit and significant buyer’s fees (minimum fee applies to lower-priced lots). The sale is subject to the legal pack and special conditions, so bidders must review these documents and be prepared to exchange contracts quickly. The wider area shows very high deprivation and elevated crime levels; factor local demand, letting risk and potential voids into any investment calculation.
