Large garden and driveway, strong rental potential in a sought village location.
Three-bedroom semi-detached with open-plan lounge/diner
Offered for sale at auction, this three-bedroom semi‑detached house in Barkby presents clear rental and refurbishment potential. The layout includes an open-plan lounge/diner, kitchen with pantry, utility room and downstairs WC, plus two double bedrooms with built-in storage, a single bedroom and family bathroom. A driveway and large rear garden add outdoor value and scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning).
Important practical notes for buyers: the property is of non-standard Precast Reinforced Concrete (PRC) construction which may restrict mortgage and insurance options. It is currently let with vacant possession expected 21 November 2025. The buyer must be comfortable with auction purchase terms, a minimum 10% deposit (or £5,000), a £1,500 buyer’s premium and other legal pack costs.
Condition is broadly dated rather than dilapidated — double glazing was fitted post‑2002 and mains gas boiler with radiators is installed — but the house will benefit from cosmetic updating and some maintenance. There is medium flood risk locally, above‑average crime in the area, and slow broadband speeds; these are practical factors that affect lettability and family buyers.
This lot will suit an investor seeking an income property in a desirable village setting or a buyer wanting to modernise and add value. Prospective purchasers should obtain specialist advice on PRC construction, check finance and insurance options, and read the auction legal pack thoroughly prior to bidding.
