This three-bedroom semi-detached home on St. Chad Square is offered chain-free and will be sold at auction, providing a quick purchase route for buyers who can act promptly. At about 620 sq ft, the accommodation is compact and arranged in a traditional layout with a medium living room, two bathrooms and double glazing fitted after 2002. The property is freehold and benefits from mains gas central heating and very low council tax (Band A).
The plot is small but described as substantial for the immediate setting; the front and rear gardens are currently overgrown and will need landscaping. Internally the finish is serviceable—modern laminate flooring in the living room and neutral walls—but the house will suit buyers prepared to carry out modest refurbishment rather than those seeking a fully updated move-in ready home.
Location strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, local amenities (shop, bakery, pub, bus stop) and several nearby Good-rated schools, making the area practical for families or those working locally. Note the wider area is classified as relatively deprived, which can affect demand and resale values, and there is no flood risk recorded.
Important considerations: the property is a small-town fringe home with limited overall size and a small plot, so extension options are likely constrained. Auction sale means the buyer should prepare for deposit and completion times typical of auction purchases and carry out their own surveys beforehand. Priced at £50,000, this offers clear potential for an investor or first-time buyer able to invest in improvements.
